The (ABLS) Instructor Course is a course for physicians, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and paramedics interested in becoming instructors for the ABLS program. This live, hands-on course is designed to "teach-how-to-teach" with a particular focus on advanced burn life support provider materials. Following a lecture from our cadre of National Educators, students will each present a portion of an ABLS provider lecture to the class, lead case studies, and run a simulated burn patient scenario to reinforce the assessment, stabilization, and the American Burn Association transfer criteria to a Burn Center. Testing consists of practical assessments of the instructor candidate's performance throughout the day.
