• Specific Traumatic Injuries: Focused modules on trauma to the head, spine, chest, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system, as well as burns and environmental injuries.
• Special Populations: Trauma considerations for pediatric, geriatric, and pregnant patients.
• Disaster Management & Mass Casualties: Pre-hospital triage decisions and disaster response frameworks.
• Practical Skills Stations: Hands-on practice for airway control, spinal immobilization, and trauma assessment.
• Patient Simulations: Team-based trauma scenarios and case studies to test critical thinking in high-pressure situations.
• Final Examination: Written test and final mega-code or scenario practical testing.

For Hybrid format, Day 1 will be online lectures and Day 2 will feature are skill stations.
