Program overview

Train for the first critical moments of trauma care

This proposed professional development course introduces a systematic approach to recognizing and prioritizing life-threatening injuries in the early stages of trauma management.

Designed for physicians and eligible clinical professionals working in emergency, surgery, anesthesia, critical care or pre-hospital settings. Final eligibility, learning outcomes and delivery requirements depend on the approved course pathway.

  • Prioritize immediate threats to life
  • Apply structured primary and secondary surveys
  • Practise team communication and reassessment
  • Work through realistic, facilitated trauma scenarios

Learning pathway

Detailed curriculum

An indicative syllabus based on widely taught trauma-assessment principles. The final curriculum for any officially authorized ATLS course must follow ACS requirements.

MODULE 01

Trauma systems and initial response

Trauma team roles, preparation, triage principles, scene-to-hospital handover, patient safety and clinical prioritization.

MODULE 02

Primary survey: xABCDE

Immediate control of catastrophic external bleeding; airway and cervical-spine protection; breathing, circulation, neurological status and exposure.

MODULE 03

Airway and breathing emergencies

Airway assessment, oxygenation, ventilation, recognition of serious thoracic injuries and escalation to qualified clinical teams.

MODULE 04

Shock and hemorrhage

Recognition of shock, major hemorrhage, resuscitation priorities, reassessment and coordination of definitive care.

MODULE 05

Region-specific trauma

Head and spinal injuries; chest, abdominal and pelvic trauma; musculoskeletal injuries, burns and other special considerations.

MODULE 06

Special populations

Distinct considerations in pediatric, older adult and pregnant trauma patients, including communication and escalation.

MODULE 07

Secondary survey and transfer

Head-to-toe assessment, history gathering, diagnostics, ongoing monitoring, documentation and safe transfer decisions.

MODULE 08

Integrated trauma simulation

Team-based patient scenarios, structured handovers, rapid prioritization, reflective debriefing and practical evaluation.

Course structure

Proposed two-day schedule

Participants should expect preparatory reading or online learning before the practical course. The timetable below is illustrative.

Before the coursePre-reading, foundational knowledge review and participant instructions
Day 1 · MorningTrauma principles, team preparation, xABCDE and airway/breathing assessment
Day 1 · AfternoonCirculation, hemorrhage, shock and guided skills stations
Day 2 · MorningRegional trauma, special populations, secondary survey and transfer
Day 2 · AfternoonIntegrated simulation, scenario-based practical assessment and knowledge review
Evaluation

Assessment and completion

A proposed multi-method assessment approach evaluates knowledge, clinical reasoning, and performance in structured scenarios.

  • Pre-course preparation: assigned readings and preparatory learning
  • Knowledge assessment: written or online multiple-choice questions
  • Practical assessment: simulated primary survey, prioritization and communication
  • Participation: engagement in skills stations and facilitated scenarios
  • Feedback: instructor debriefing and targeted improvement guidance

Certification clarification

Successful completion of an independently offered CB Academy trauma course would not, by itself, grant official ACS ATLS provider verification.

Official ATLS provider verification requires an ACS-authorized course, approved instructors, prescribed assessments and all applicable program requirements.

Authorization pending verification: CB Academy should not advertise ACS accreditation, official ATLS certification or confirmed ATLS registration unless formal authorization has been obtained.
Tuition

Clear, accessible pricing

The proposed course tuition is set at USD $619 per participant.

Before accepting payment, CB Academy should confirm the delivery date, included learning materials, assessment arrangements, cancellation policy, instructor credentials and whether this is an independent trauma course or an authorized ACS ATLS offering.
