The course replaces and expands upon principles previously taught in the Advanced Burn Provider Course and incorporates traditional methods of excision and grafting with new technologies in development. It is strongly recommended that participants complete the Advanced Burn Life Support™ (ABLS) course as a prerequisite. In preparation for the course, participants will be enrolled in an online course where they will access lectures and materials to prepare for the course.
