About the Course

Welcome to Trauma Emergencies and Care. In this course, you will learn about some of the mechanics and physics of trauma on the human body, and how this can cause injury. You will continue to expand your new vocabulary with medical terminology, and learn how to describe the different injuries you may see. You will also learn about the trauma system itself- and when it is important to transport patients to a trauma center. Then we will dive into specific injuries based on what part of the body may be injured- or trauma by system. There are different considerations in the trauma patients depending on both how, and where, they are injured. And of course- you will learn your standard approach to a history and physical exam of the trauma patient. Finally, you will learn about something that you hope to never encounter: mass casualty incidents, or MCI’s. These are occurrences where you may have multiple patients, and there is an organized and specific approach as a provider in these circumstances....

Content is great.

*****BE WARNED. After spending money for the full course, and completing all Modules, with 93+ average, and wanting to attend bootcamp, they only answered 2 out of around 12 emails, I lost confidence in them and found a different center to get practical training and exams. It seems like they are only happy to accept my monthly subscription fees but not very interested in me actually attending the bootcamp. (despite the $1,000 fee!) International Students beware! This being said, Its a great program if you are only interested in learning and not wanting the NREMT certification to make a career change. ALSO the instructor NEVER replies to questions ****

Trauma care is arguably the most adrenaline-pumping aspect of acute care or EMT practice, and this course faithfully and favorably reflected this reality that aspiring EMTs or acute care/emergency physicians must be ready to face anytime. While the course is short relatively to the entirety of trauma medicine and surgery, this offering successfully distills the essential details - compelling the learner to know what he/she/they must know and the unknowns/limitations they should be comfortable to accept.

comprehensive introduction into trauma, its causes, effects and how to see and resolve basic issues, prior to transport. The course clearly walks the patient through the various types of trauma from cranial to genito- urinary trauma.

The readings are a wonderful adjunct to the videos ,with in depth introduction to the issues m, their ramifications and how to help prepare the patient for transport.

Thorough yet simple explanations that make the topics very manageable and easy to understand. The instructors go to the most important points to be aware of in trauma assessment and patient care. I've read many courses and taken many others, and this is my favorite trauma course of all. Thank you for being such great instructors!
