Re: Trauma courses

[William Wingfield <will@willwingfield.com>]

AeroCare Paramedics are required to have BTLS or PHTLS as well as 
audit ATLS at least every 5 years.  (We allow 5 years because we have 
a mandatory cadaver lab skills refresher every 6 mos.)  RN's are 
required to have TNCC and TNATC w/i 1 year of hire (we teach the 
TNATC in house).  Most of our medics audit TNATC as well as TNCC 
eventually.

Good luck
