Advanced Burn Life Support (ABLS) Provider Course - Jan 2023

Advanced Burn Life Support (ABLS) programs provide knowledge for immediate care of the burn patient up to the first 24 hours post-injury. ABLS programs also support emergency and mass casualty preparedness focusing on triage, burn survivability, patient transportation, and patient treatment. ABLS is relevant to a wide range of professionals who treat individuals with burn injuries including first responders, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and physicians. Upon successful completion, all providers will receive a certificate of completion (renewable after 4 years). Physicians and nurses are also eligible for continuing education credit.

ABLS Live courses offer live, didactic lectures and hands-on simulation nationwide to reinforce learning for all registrants. This 7-hour live, hands-on course is designed to provide the “how-to” of emergency care of the burn patient through the first 24-hour critical time period. Following a series of lectures, case studies are presented for group discussion. Testing consists of a written exam and a practical assessment. The registration fee covers the course tuition, the ABLS Provider manual, written and practical assessments, continuing education credits (Nurses and Physicians), and a certificate of completion.
