RACS has officially launched Edition 10 of the Early Management of Severe Trauma (EMST) course across Australia and New Zealand. The EMST Committee were actively involved in the development of the latest version of Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) - resulting in an engaging new program that is highly reflective of current Australian and New Zealand clinical practice and standards in management of injured patients.
All Provider and Refresher courses are now open for enrolment.

- Participants have more time at new skill stations and are able to apply their knowledge in a hands-on setting.
- 2018 course fees have been reduced, as fit-for-purpose manikins have replaced the use of live tissue with the cost savings passed on to participants.
