Have you taken the ATLS course—or are you thinking about it? This globally recognised trauma course is a rite of passage for many IMG surgeons in the UK. With just 3 days of jam-packed teaching, role-playing, and critical skills training, it’s often described as “exhilarating, exhausting, and absolutely essential.” Whether you’re prepping for MRCS Part B or eyeing surgical roles in the NHS, ATLS might be your game-changer.
🔍 Here’s what many doctors wish they knew before taking it:
80% of the course is active participation, not lectures
It covers everything from airways to trauma in pregnancy
You can fail—and here’s what to do if you do
Networking with mentors during the course is key
