ATLS course reflections

📝 ATLS Course Faculty Reflection

This reflection note summarizes my experience as a guest attendee/faculty member at the ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support) Course held at the Aster Simulation Center in Kozhikode, conducted under the auspices of ATLS India.

Course Experience and Structure

It was a pleasure to attend this ATLS course, resuming my association as faculty, a role I have held since 2009. The course continues to be a well-conducted, well-structured, and focused educational experience. It consistently provides an excellent opportunity for interaction for both students and faculty.

The two-and-a-half-day format is highly effective, ensuring that students receive ample opportunity to learn the essential principles of managing a polytrauma case, even in limited resource settings.

Faculty and Leadership

The course was expertly directed by Dr. Radesh Numbair in Kozhikode. He was supported by a highly capable team of faculty members, including Drs. Jinesh, Johnson, Nirmal Peter, and Kirishbakumar. Their combined expertise ensured a high-quality learning environment.

Nostalgia and Center Legacy

Attending this course was a deeply nostalgic experience. The Aster Simulation Center in Kozhikode is a facility that I had the privilege of establishing, and it stands as my last project with Aster before my departure. Seeing the center actively hosting such a critical course was immensely gratifying.

Delegate Participation

The course delegates were outstanding. Their participation, interactions, and performance were excellent, demonstrating a strong commitment to learning the vital skills necessary for trauma care.

This ATLS course at the Aster Simulation Center successfully upheld the high standards of the program, reflecting strong leadership and dedicated faculty, all while training a highly motivated cohort of future trauma care providers.
