This course is a standardized program facilitated by TNS Course Coordinators (TNSCCs) at approximately 15 hospitals statewide. It is co-sponsored by the Illinois Department of Public Health Division of EMS and Highway Safety (IDPH). Designed for ICU/Emergency nurses, the program is presented at the graduate level focusing on the care of trauma patients across the continuum, including care in the prehospital, resuscitative, perioperative and intensive care phases with a strong emphasis on pathophysiology and multidisciplinary coordination.
This 80 hour course generally meets once weekly, is offered in the fall and has limited seating. The cost is set by the TNSCC Committee and is standard throughout Illinois (generally $350.00). Sponsorship is required.
