New Instructor Course Format to Be Previewed at 2014 Conference


The ITLS Editorial Board is hard at work developing the curriculum and final product for the new ITLS Instruc- tor Course that will be released in early 2015.


A preview of the ITLS Instructor Course will be presented at the 2014 ITLS Inter- national Trauma Conference at a spe- cial advance briefing on Wednesday, November 5 at The Westin Cleveland Downtown in Cleveland, Ohio.


The free afternoon workshop will include a demo of the new online component of the Instructor course. The focus of the workshop will be to outline the coming changes prior to the formal rollout of the new ITLS Instructor course and is in-


tended for current ITLS Instructors, Affili- ate Faculty, Chapter Leaders and Course Coordinators.


The session will also discuss and review the tools available from ITLS to imple- ment updated strategies to ensure that ITLS Instructors are equipped with the most effective instructional methodol- ogy.


Changes to the ITLS Instructor program are designed to make you a better in- structor and deliver ITLS training more effectively to a global audience.


More details about the new Instructor course will be released in the Bulletin and online after the November 5 workshop.


Reminder for Course Coordinators


All course coordinators who use the ITLS Course Management Sys- tem (CMS) to manage their ITLS courses are encouraged to input upcoming courses into CMS well in advance of the course date with registration contact information.


Students interested in attending an ITLS course often use CMS to search for a course that meets their requirements. When no courses are found in CMS, they are frus- trated and believe no courses ex- ist. We want to reach as many stu- dents as possible — help make it easy for students in your chapter or training centre to find a course by inputting your course information early!
