ATLS 10th Edition Instructor Course - 2 Days
The goal of the instructor course is to prepare doctors as instructors to teach the ATLS student course. Over the years, the ATLS course has evolved to include greater emphasis on interactivity and small group learning. This 10th edition of the instructor course is based on the strong foundation of the previous editions, adding essentially two aspects: how to use scenario-based teaching principles and how to facilitate student learning, moving away from "sage on the stage" and embracing the role of "guide on the side."
This course is a team-teaching interactive learning experience with the course director, an ATLS educator, and experienced ATLS instructors. In this experience, the course participants will acquire an understanding of the of the adult education principles that are used in the design and delivery of ATLS learning and teaching. Course participants are then provided an opportunity to put them into practice using the principles during practice training sessions. This structured team-teaching experience employs the newest concepts of adult education to optimally prepare new instructors for their roles as teacher, facilitator, instructor, and mentor of an ATLS student course. The approach of the instructor course is closely aligned with the pedagogy used in the 10th edition ATLS student course.
The newly redesigned MyATLS app provides access to key elements of the ATLS program and is available for a one-time cost of $9.99 for the duration of the ATLS 10th Edition version of the app. Visit, MyATLS App | ACS (facs.org), for more information and links to purchase the app. (The QR code in the ATLS 10th Edition Student Course Manual linked to the previous version of the MyATLS mobile app, which contained ATLS 9th Edition content.)
