Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) Course

Specialized training for managing severe injuries in prehospital settings

Course Introduction

The Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) course is a specialized training program designed to train healthcare providers and paramedics to deliver effective primary care for individuals with severe injuries before they reach the hospital. This course was developed according to international standards and is one of the most important courses for prehospital care providers. It is accredited by organizations such as the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) and other healthcare institutions. The course is based on the latest guidelines and scientific practices, with regular updates to incorporate the most recent medical knowledge and technologies related to trauma.
