Medical care for trauma patients demands fast thinking and up-to-date resources. One of the ACS’s most popular resources that clinicians use to help accurately assess and manage the injured patient is the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) program.

A newly redesigned ACS MyATLS mobile app offers users interactive access to key elements of ATLS, including: 

  • Chapter summaries—Easily access overviews of ATLS 10th Edition Student Course Manual chapters and appendices.
  • Videos—View just-in-time skill and patient assessment videos.
  • Calculators—Quickly convert measurements, calculate BMI, and use the Glasgow Coma Scale.
  • Interactive algorithms—Use interactive tools to make decisions based on patient injuries.
  • Tables—Access and download vital ATLS tables to make quick, informed decisions.
  • Skill stations—See detailed, step-by-step instructions for more than 20 ATLS skills.
  • Checklists—Stay on track with reusable checklists for every step in the process.
  • Practice quizzes—Sharpen your ATLS knowledge and prep for the exam with practice questions that highlight your strengths and areas for improvement.
  • Flashcards—Quickly boost your recall of ATLS terms, formulas, and algorithms.

New content will be added continually to the MyATLS app, offering users an ever-growing library of just-in-time videos, quiz questions, flashcards, and more.

Download the MyATLS mobile app today via the Apple Store or Google Play for a one-time fee of $9.99.
