Advanced trauma care demands more than technical skill. ALS providers must integrate rapid assessment, hemorrhage control, airway management, resuscitation strategy, and transport decision-making into a structured, coordinated plan of care.
These programs strengthen advanced trauma capability while reinforcing disciplined execution, team leadership, and performance under operational stress.
Course Focus Areas
Instruction across ALS-level programs may include:
• Advanced hemorrhage control integration
• Junctional and complex wound management
• MARCH algorithm application at ALS scope
• Trauma airway decision-making
• Shock recognition and resuscitation priorities
• Pharmacologic considerations within scope of practice
• Multi-patient prioritization and triage refinement
• Care in limited-access or delayed-transport environments
• Coordinated interagency communication
• Documentation and medical-legal considerations
Scenario-based training reinforces clinical reasoning and operational leadership.
Who These Programs Are For
• Paramedics
• Tactical medics
• Fire-based ALS providers
• Law enforcement medical personnel
• Military medical providers
• Industrial advanced response teams
Participants should possess appropriate clinical certification and trauma experience consistent with ALS scope.
Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) Refresher
NAEMT-accredited refresher course reinforcing trauma assessment, critical thinking, and current best practices.
Audience:
EMTs, AEMTs, Paramedics, EMS supervisors, military medics, authorized healthcare providers requiring PHTLS renewal
Duration:
8 Hours
Why This Training Matters
• Severe trauma patients deteriorate rapidly without structured intervention
• Advanced interventions must align with physiology and priorities
• Scene complexity amplifies small decision errors
• Leadership and communication directly affect outcomes
• Resuscitation sequencing impacts survivability
ALS providers are expected to make definitive decisions in unstable, high-pressure environments.
