Hello,
I will soon be taking the ATLS course. I heard the failure rate is quite high. I did okay on the pretest, read the book and feel I can pass the written portion. However, I am pretty nervous about the simulation. Could anyone share how the simulation is structured? Are we all taking turn as "team leader"? Standardized patients or high fidelity manikin? What to expect, procedures etc (the book has so many skills to master)? How long is the simulation?
Thank you.
