Basic Trauma Life Support

« Back to Medical Professionals

Basic Trauma Life Support (BTLS) is a trauma education program for EMS personnel. Endorsed by The American College of Emergency Physicians, BTLS is a global organization dedicated to preventing death and disability from trauma through education and emergency trauma care.

BTLS began as the dream of an emergency physician from Alabama. In January 1985, the first meeting of BTLS International took place, providing a basis for the organization's growth. Now, more than a decade later, BTLS International has more than 60 chapters and has trained tens of thousands of individuals in trauma care.

Saint Vincent is proud to administer the Pennsylvania charter of BTLS and provide this essential trauma training.
