Definitive Surgical Trauma Care Course (DSTC)

DSTC Australasia in association with IATSIC (International Association for Trauma Surgery and Intensive Care) is pleased to announce the courses for 2010.

The DSTC course is a valuable and exciting opportunity to focus on:

Surgical decision-making in
complex scenarios
Operative technique in critically ill trauma patients
Hands on practical experience with experienced instructors (both national and international)
Insight into difficult trauma situations with learned techniques of haemorrhage control and the ability to manage major thoracic, cardiac and abdominal injuries

The Definitive Perioperative Nurses Trauma Care Course (DPNTC) is held concurrently with many DSTC courses. It is aimed at registered nurses with experience in perioperative nursing and allows them to develop these skills in a similar setting.

The Military Module is an optional third day for interested surgeons and Australian Defence Force Personnel.

DSTC is recommended by The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons for all Consultant Surgeons and final year trainees.
