The trauma department at St. Joseph Health regularly hosts continuing education classes for trauma certifications. In 2018, we will host two nationally recognized and accredited courses at St. Joseph Health.

Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS)

This class is a 2 full day course and a requirement for multiple practitioners (trauma physicians, ER physicians, Advanced Practitioners and residents) that practice in an accredited trauma center. Participants obtain over 17 CE credits which they need to remain current and it is valid for 4 years after the date they attend. 

Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS)

This class improves the quality of care and education of non-board certified staff members (CCU nurses, residents, and hospitalists).

Trauma Grand Rounds

Upon completion of this activity, the participant will be able to explain the basics of tactical medicine, recognize the expectations of the tactical physician, and differentiate the roles of tactical officers. St. Joseph Health Regional Hospital is accredited by the Texas Medical Association to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
