The American Trauma Society, PA Division (ATSPA) offered the highly acclaimed Advanced Burn Life Support NOW Course to our members starting in July 2023. This invaluable 5-hour online educational opportunity was met with enthusiasm, as 21 dedicated ATSPA members secured their ABLS NOW "seats."

 

This online course provides the “how-to” of emergency care for the burn patient through the first 24-hour critical time period. Each lecture concludes with study questions, to assist with assessment preparation. Testing consists of a written exam.
