The PHTLS teaches and reinforces the principles of rapidly assessing a trauma patient using an orderly approach, immediately treating life-threatening problems as they are identified and minimizing delays in initiating transport to an appropriate destination. This is for all levels of EMS practitioners.

The class will meet June 16 and June 17. The book, PHTLS 9th edition, is not included in the cost.
