The Procedures Course | Chicago | Friday 2 & Saturday 3 October 2026 The Procedures Course sets the benchmark for resuscitative skills training, recognised internationally for its high-impact, hands-on approach. Developed by leaders in trauma care from The Alfred Trauma Unit, Australasia’s largest trauma service, this course is designed to help you master critical life-saving procedures with confidence. This course is designed for clinicians who want to refine high acuity procedures in a setting that prioritises depth, precision, and deliberate practice. The format allows close faculty guidance and uninterrupted time on anatomy, equipment, and technique. Across two intensive days, you’ll train in small groups with un-embalmed cadavers, building the technical expertise and assurance to perform under pressure when seconds count.
