ATLS course requirements

This education is a certification for physicians and physician extenders.  The course consists of pre-course and post-course tests, core content lectures, and interactive case presentations, discussions, development of lifesaving skills, practical practice experiences, and a final performance proficiency evaluation. 

Agenda

This hybrid course is a 1 day course located in the Saskatoon City Hospital Rependa area.  The course runs from 0700 until 2000hrs.​ The 13 online modules are designed to replace the interactive discussion component of the traditional ATLS course so that learners may complete it at their own pace. After completion of these modules, learners will attend the course site to complete the hands-on skills portion of the course following a prescribed 1 day skills practicum schedule.
