Course Overview
The Advanced Trauma Care for Nurses (ATCN®) Instructor Course is a one-day course. It is designed for training Instructors for the ATCN® Student Course. The Instructor Course consists of a variety of teaching-how-to-teach components that are directly related to the ATCN® core content:

- management of various student behaviors;
- techniques for skills-teaching;
- techniques for leading group discussion;
- techniques for critiquing and assessing student's performance;
