www.aapa.org Hot off the presses-- or perhaps I should say-- this is the 1st
I have heard of PAs being certified in ATLS!?

Advanced Trauma Life Support Cards for PAs

Starting in October 2008, PAs will receive cards for completing the Advanced
Trauma Life Support (ATLS) course offered by the American College of
Surgeons (ACS). Between now and this fall, ACS will work to restructure the
rules, design the cards, and inform ATLS course managers of the new policy.
Until then, PAs will continue to receive letters indicating that they have
attended the course. AAPA liaisons to the ACS have worked for many years to
achieve this goal. Dan Vetrosky, PA-C, M.Ed., current Academy liaison to
ACS, congratulated all those whose past efforts contributed to this
achievement.
