Essentials of Trauma Care
The Essentials of Trauma Care course was developed to fill the gap between in-person courses and education delivered at a distance. The ETC course covers the core lessons needed to care for the trauma patent by EMS providers. Additional optional modules are available as to cover sub-specialty topics.
The course utilizes Dynamic Editing that was created by IPHMI and allows the authors to continuously update the material as research dictates. This keeps the ETC course the most up-to-date prehospital trauma course there is. Research in EMS changes the standards of practice quickly. Other publishers roll out a new course every 4 years, that means in year 2 their information is outdated. This is where Dynamic Editing is setting the new standard....
