TEAM (Trauma Evaluation And Management)

Developed by the Subcommittee on ATLS® to the ACS Committee on Trauma, TEAM introduces the concepts of trauma assessment and management to medical students during their clinical years. The slide/lecture presentation can be easily adapted into the medical school's curriculum. The format is flexible, with a 90-minute slide presentation and optional components that include a three-segment initial assessment video demonstration and a series of clinical trauma case scenarios for small-group, focused discussion and skills sessions.

The core content is adapted from the College's successful program, Advanced Trauma Life Support® (ATLS) course. TEAM is an expanded version of the ATLS "Initial Assessment and Management" lecture, with important principles added from other ATLS course materials.

The Committee on Trauma and the ATLS Subcommittee believe that the TEAM Program should satisfy the need for a standardized introductory course in the evaluation and management of trauma that can be taught to all medical students and multidisciplinary team members. The ATLS Subcommittee designed the TEAM program to be taught by ATLS instructors, because they know the philosophy, intent, and content of the program. The subcommittee strongly encourages their participation in this regard.

TEAM is a very abbreviated version of the ATLS course and is not intended to replace the complete course. Individuals who take the TEAM course are not considered as having completed an ATLS course. Medical students are encouraged to take the ATLS course in their final year of medical school or after graduation.
