Rural Trauma: What is it?
Rural trauma is the “neglected disease” of the twenty-first century.
Why RTTDC© was developed?
The Rural Trauma Team Development Course has been developed by the ad hoc Rural Trauma committee of the American College of Surgeon Committee on Trauma to help rural hospitals with development of their trauma teams.
It is hoped the course will improve the quality of care in their community by developing a timely, organized, rational response to the care of the trauma patient and a team approach that addresses the common problems in the initial assessment and stabilization of the injured. It is the purpose of RTTDC© to increase the efficiency of resource utilization and improve the level of care provided to the injured patient in the Rural setting.

Rural Trauma Team Development Course (RTTDC)®
Who should attend the course?
The basic premise of the course is the assumption that, in most situations, rural hospitals can provide three individuals to form the core of a trauma team consisting of a Team Leader (a physician or physician extender), Team Member One (a nurse), and Team Member Two (an additional individual who could be a nurse, aide, technician, pre-hospital provider, or clerk).Therefore, the rural hospital should have those individuals who will perform in these roles attend the course along with other individuals such as respiratory, radiology, and laboratory technologists, additional nurses, pre-hospital personnel, etc. who might be involved in supportive roles to the trauma team.The total course participants is limited to 30 participants.
ACCREDIATION
