Optimal Trauma Center Organization & Management Course

This course is the result of a collaboration between the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS-COT) and the Society of Trauma Nurses (STN). The course is taught by physicians and nurses with the goal of enhancing a trauma center system of care and improving patient care through implementation of the ACS-COT Trauma Center Standards. Whether a verified mature trauma center or a hospital preparing for designation, this course is designed to assist participants to create strategies, processes, and operations to support trauma center systems based upon their own environments. The course is highly recommended for trauma medical directors, trauma program managers / coordinators, and administrators.
