Harvard Advanced Trauma Management 2025 (Videos + Slides PDFs)

2-Day Course | September 22–23, 2025

A 2-day course providing updates, best practices, and new pathways & protocols regarding the acute care of major trauma patients, from Emergency Department arrival through hospital admission/discharge. Focus on advanced, state-of-the-art clinical knowledge and skills, emphasizing teamwork, non-technical skills, and best practices in ED management.

💯 Course Goal

To prepare emergency clinicians with a strong trauma care foundation to quickly and accurately assess and provide high-quality care for trauma patients, with emphasis on optimizing outcomes for high-risk injuries.

Learning Objectives

• Articulate best practices for treating trauma within special patient populations (hypotensive, geriatric, pediatric, pregnant).

• Rapidly evaluate trauma patients using techniques such as point-of-care ultrasound.

• Identify clinical red flags (vital sign abnormalities, mechanisms of injury, vascular injury findings) to anticipate patient care needs.

• Incorporate trauma management practices such as ATLS, anticoagulant reversal, and imaging study selection into practice.
