Trauma: practice software

[triguy358]

Hey all.

Finally a PGY-2. Feels super weird. Was out of my department forever (last 5 months of PGY-1) and feel way out of it now. I need to get back into the mindset of ED, actually thinking for myself again, red flags, differentials, and yes, trauma.

We don't get a ton at our shop, a few level 1s every other day or so which we co-manage with surgery residents. I would really like to practice my trauma algorithms daily/weekly with some online software to keep my ATLS skills and thinking intact. Any recommendations? I only found one online: madscientist. There is little in the way of reviews for this and I'm scared to give them my personal info without some type of endorsement.

Thanks everyone!

You should consider using an oral boards book - it will get you back in the mindset. The 'madscientist' website promotes the fact that they're using 'new 2010 ACLS guidelines!' so I'm not sure it's the best resource.

Here's a previous thread discussing some of these:

This is what I use to brush up on my Trauma/surgical topics. It can definitely be difficult to get through though so take your time and go easy.

Some of that stuff is way outside my scope of practice.
