CRIT5019 builds on the foundations laid in Major Trauma Management. The unit of study is based on real cases, with actual dilemmas and clinical pearls. It will prepare registrars and Fellows for a senior role in a trauma service and is also widely relevant to anyone who sees trauma patients during their daily practice. It explores the surgical, medical, psychosocial, and system-related issues in advanced trauma care. Critical care practitioners assess and manage trauma patients in both the initial stabilisation phase in emergency and during their stay in hospital. CRIT5016 is designed to provide students with a solid grounding in the basic concepts of trauma resuscitation and management. It addresses numerous key aspects including trauma systems and epidemiology. Course material covers the identification and management of injuries specific to each organ system and gives an overview of how to treat any trauma patient holistically. For a full year of engagement with trauma, enrol in two 6 credit point units of study CRIT 5016 for semester 1 and CRIT 5019 for semester 2. Over the year you will develop your trauma skills from pre-hospital and basic emergency resuscitation to learning key principles of surgical, intensive care, forensics, and ward-based trauma management. Successful completion of this will lead you to graduate with a Sydney Professional Certificate in Trauma.
