ForwardRTTDC 5th Edition 1 Day Course (CME)
The Resource-Variable Trauma Team Development Course (RTTDC®) 5th Edition is intended to improve the quality of care in rural communities by developing a timely, organized, and systemic response to the care of the trauma patient. It teaches teamwork where care begins, at the first point of contact when the patient arrives. It stands beside the people who show up for their communities, caring for their neighbors, families, friends, and fellow responders. Together the team acts early, organizes care, and saves lives. This plan, guided by flexible educators and grounded in real need, turned a small idea into a course that endures. It continues to grow from its North American roots to reach teams worldwide, including those in austere and military environments.
