VetATLS

The Veterinary Advanced Trauma Life Support (VetATLS) Program is designed for veterinarians and veterinary teams who want to enhance their confidence and competence in managing emergent trauma patients. The online modules for this program provide foundational knowledge of the principles of small animal trauma patient management. These modules also identify best practices in veterinary trauma patient care and provide standardized approaches to trauma patient triage, diagnostics, and treatment.
VetATLS consists of two parts:
- 12 interactive online modules that you can complete at your own pace, covering essential concepts and best practices in veterinary trauma care. The online modules start with the Primary Survey, then move through every aspect of veterinary trauma, from head trauma to hemorrhage resuscitation.
- An in-person skills lab where you will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge hands-on, guided by experienced instructors. Once you have completed the online modules, you will be eligible to complete the in-person skills lab. The first labs will be offered in Fall 2026.
