Provider Courses
The ITLS Basic Provider Course includes classroom instruction, hands-on skills training, and testing for ITLS Basic certification. Innovative skills stations let you practice the abilities appropriate for your level of certification.
The ITLS Advanced Provider Course is for advanced level providers only. Lecture content is the same as the ITLS Basic. Information on advanced level patient care is required reading material and will be included in the written exam. The advanced airway, intraosseous initiation and access, thoracic needle decompression, and external jugular cannulation skills stations will be included in this course.
Pediatric Trauma Life Support
ITLS Pediatric continues the training of the Provider courses, reflecting the same ITLS method of assessment and management, but with an emphasis on the special needs of the pediatric patient. The course teaches the principles of proper assessment, management, critical interventions, patient packaging, and rapid transport for pediatric trauma patients. It also highlights proven techniques for communicating with young patients and their parents.r.
