The European Trauma Course development from 2006 to 2015

Introduction: The European trauma course was developed in the pilot phase between 2006 and 2008. A group of experts from all over Europe designed it because it was necessary to create a flexible course on trauma management that can be used in all the different systems in Europe. Additionally, working in a team is not included in the available traditional courses. The goal was to create a course that focuses on team approach and is flexible to adapt to local protocols. On the basis of up-to-date adult learning models, 85% is practical simulation-based team training.
