Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS)
The Level I Trauma Center at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH)
is proud to offer the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS®) classes

- Determine if the patient’s needs exceed a facility’s capacity.
- Arrange appropriately for the patient’s inter-hospital transfer (who, what, when, and how).
- Assure that optimum care is provided and that the level of care does not deteriorate at any point during the evaluation, resuscitation, or transfer process.
