Class Schedule

The Advanced Trauma Life Support^® (ATLS^®) program can teach you a systematic, concise approach to the care of a trauma patient. ATLS was developed by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Committee on Trauma (COT) and was first introduced in the US and abroad in 1980.  Its courses provide you with a safe and reliable method for immediate management of injured patients.  The course teaches you how to assess a patient’s condition, resuscitate and stabilize him or her, and determine if his or her needs exceed a facility’s capacity. It also covers how to arrange for a patient’s inter-hospital transfer and assure that optimum care is provided throughout the process. If you don’t treat trauma patients frequently, an ATLS course provides an easy method to remember for evaluation and treatment of a trauma victim.

Tragedy can happen in an instant, and in the aftermath of the recent school shootings, trauma experts at OU Medicine are offering a free course on how to save the life of someone bleeding to death through a program called “Stop the Bleed.”

Following a traumatic injury, major blood loss is responsible for more than 35 percent of prehospital deaths and more than 40 percent of deaths that occur within the first 24 hours of hospital admission, according to the National Trauma Institute.​Training surgeons in bleeding control techniques so that they can train the general public is an effective way to disseminate bleeding control knowledge and teach skills, according to study findings published om the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.

Doctors and nurses at the Trauma One Center at OU Medical Center are joining with the American College of Surgeons to provide simple lifesaving training for local churches, businesses and schools as part of a national initiative called “Stop the Bleed.” The “Stop the Bleed” course was developed following the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. The program’s focus is that with the proper training, anyone can save a life after an injury such as a laceration or bullet wound. Simple tactics such as how to apply pressure to a wound and using a tourniquet properly will be taught to those who attend.
