Hey all. So I'm a new medic looking for a job. My school did not contain a trauma certification course (ITLS, PHTLS, ATLS, etc.) and some of the services around here say they prefer a trauma certification. I've looked on the NAEMT and itrauma websites and PHTLS and ITLS classes are few and far between in my area. According the the ACS website, however, there is an ATLS course almost every month at the various trauma centers in the area.
Are paramedics typically able to attend an ATLS course? Do employers consider this to be an acceptable alternative to the more traditional prehospital trauma courses such as ITLS or PHTLS?
