Trauma Education Fund

james-k-styner.jpg

Donations are being accepted in memory of James K. Styner, MD, FACS.

Dr. Styner was the developer and pioneer of the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS®) course which was subsequently brought into the American College of Surgeons (ACS) as an educational program in 1980, being quickly promulgated throughout North America utilizing the regional structure of the Committee on Trauma (COT). In the decades since, ATLS® has expanded worldwide, having been translated into 10 different languages and currently being taught to more than 50,000 learners each year in more than 88 different countries (and growing).

Your contribution will help to ensure that the creation and dissemination of trauma education continues, helping the fund’s mission to support worldwide trauma education that is evidence-informed, and tailored to respect the cultural, geographic, and resource characteristics of specific low-income sites and populations.
