      The National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians in cooperation with the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma developed PHTLS, which is recognized around the world as the leading continuing education program for pre-hospital emergency trauma care. This class is based on a pre-hospital trauma care philosophy, stressing the treatment of the multi-system trauma patient as a unique entity with specific needs, and may require an approach that varies from traditional treatment modalities. PHTLS focuses on trauma patients in the pre-hospital environment – how to identify, manage, and transport them with the highest level of care and give them the greatest chance of survival. Participants will learn to identify the mechanism of injury, recognize life-threatening injuries, relate pathophysiology to injuries, assess and manage trauma patients, and perform appropriate interventions. Participants who successfully complete this class will receive a certificate of completion that is valid for four years.
