Kentucky
7th Edition Instructor Update Available
|
International Trauma Life Support is pleased to roll out a new tool for ITLS
instructors to update to the 7th edition ITLS provider manual that was released
in October 2011.
All instructors will be required to complete the 7th Edition Instructor Update
Online before they are allowed to teach from the 7th edition textbook. All
instructors must be updated by May 31, 2012.
The cost of the program is $25 per instructor. Instructors who complete the update will receive
1 hour of CECBEMS credit. The Instructor Update Online is intended for current ITLS
instructors ONLY. It is not for initial instructor certification.
Why is ITLS mandating an Instructor Update online for the 7th edition?
Consistency:
Ensures that all ITLS instructors are updated to the same standards for the new book.
Convenience:
Brief and accessible any time and no need to miss work or travel to attend a course. Minimizes
efforts Chapters have to take to update their instructors.
The ITLS Board of Directors and Editorial Board have set a policy that all Chapters are
required to use the Instructor Update Online plus any Chapter-specific teaching requirements
as the criteria for instructor recertification eligibility.
The Instructor Update Online is comprehensive and authored by the ITLS Editorial Board to
ensure all pertinent materials are covered. A 30-question quiz at the completion of the
program ensures a minimum standard of learning has been met.
