The student will explain and describe the proper operative technique for dealing with trauma injury.
The student must identify traumatic injuries and develop a management plan in order to surgically repair the injuries.
At the completion of the course the student will be able to demonstrate the following:
Increased self-efficacy in the management of traumatic injuries
Increased knowledge in the management of penetrating injuries
Ability to successfully and safely perform all operative procedures presented in the course
TARGET AUDIENCE
The intended audience includes senior surgical residents, trauma fellows, military surgeons, and fully trained general surgeons who are not frequently called on to treat penetrating injuries.
ACCREDITATION
The American College of Surgeons is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
CME CREDIT
The American College of Surgeons designates this educational activity for a maximum of 7.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
The COURSE consists of six 30-minute lectures followed by a three-hour lab session during which the students will manage 12 different injuries.
The lectures teach the management of penetrating trauma as related to:
Trauma Laparotomy
Spleen and Diaphragm
Liver
Pancreas and Duodenum
Genitourinary
Cardiac and Vascular
The LAB SESSION, with a 1:1 student-to-instructor ratio, presents students with scenarios in which they must identify and repair simulated injuries. Injured areas include:
Bladder
Urethra
Duodenum
Kidney
Stomach
Diaphragm
Pancreas
Spleen
Liver
Cardiac
Inferior Vena Cava
The students must also complete pre and post course exams and evaluations via the internet.
Lenworth Jacobs, MD, FACS of the University of Connecticut School and Medicine and Hartford Hospital Trauma Program, developed the ATOM® course. It was established in 1998 out of a demonstrated need for the interactive exchange of knowledge regarding operative procedures in the management of trauma. In 2008, the ATOM program came under the auspices of the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma.
