Trauma Care After Resuscitation

Trauma Care After Resuscitation

Give employees access to top-notch trauma training anytime, anywhere.

Resuscitation-based courses focus on prehospital and ED care in the initial 3 minutes, 30 minutes, or 3 hours after injury . . . but then what? TCAR was specifically designed to address the learning needs of nurses and other clinicians who care for trauma patients in emergency, perioperative, critical care, acute care, and rehab settings BEYOND the resuscitative phase.

Trauma-trained and ready to go!

Provide employees high-quality, population-specific trauma education on demand using TCAR’s newly UPGRADED Anytime, Anywhere format. Say goodbye to contracts, limited training dates, the high cost of classroom courses, staff coverage issues, and other live class hassles.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Unlike trauma education programs targeted at prehospital and emergency care providers, the Trauma Care After Resuscitation (TCAR) course is specifically designed for acute care, critical care, perioperative, and rehab nurses.

Now, for the first time ever, you don't need to be at a major trauma center (or in a classroom) to experience the world's highest quality trauma nursing program. With TCAR, you can receive elite trauma training wherever you are, whenever you are ready to begin.

TCAR employs a case scenario format that follows trauma patients from point of injury to hospital discharge. Learning interactions, knowledge checks, and videos are interspersed throughout to enhance information retention.
