Learning unit contents
ETC training
The ETC (ERC course, mainly intra-hospital multidisciplinary management of major trauma victims, trauma center type) is not yet concerned by this educational commitment. This training may be offered at a later date.
The PHTLS: The Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support course is a 2-day training program aimed in particular at pre-hospital workers who have to take care of traumatized patients. It is recommended in Belgium for PIT and SMUR prehospital vectors, including for the management of major trauma victims. PHTLS is designed on the principle of evidence-based medicine and prioritizes efficiency above all else through a pragmatic approach. Based for its structure on the concept of the ATLS course for doctors, the PHTLS allows, through its original pedagogical approach, to improve the capacities of the students to evaluate the state of gravity of a patient and to carry out the adequate life-saving gestures.
This is a course for students who will have to take care of traumatized patients in prehospital
Supervised exercises in emergency medicine
Guided exercises are a form of teaching in which students perform exercises in the presence of a trainer (teacher); we can include directed and semi-directed workshops in which students carry out tasks in order to gradually acquire their autonomy (semi-directed then directed)
In BLOCK 4, these exercises include:
- PHTLS-type training (see specific course code URGC1104-A-a)
- ALS recertification training (1 day)
- possibly SMUR training in the field if this could not be carried out in block 3 and according to the same criteria (see Block 3)
- semi-directed workshops for learning how to work on shock removal (continuation of block 3) where the student is associated and guided in his clinical approach, his diagnostic and therapeutic approach in the management of critical patients. These workshops take place at the deshock with real patients and under the supervision of a tutor.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
ETC training
At the end of the training, students will be able to: - move towards a systematic assessment of the trauma patient - manage priorities by following the principle of "Treat first what kill first".
Supervised exercises in emergency medicine
At the end of each directed exercise (or workshop), the student will be able to:
- gradually acquire a personal reflection on the methods of care
- project themselves into their role as an emergency doctor for the management of situations experienced during the apprenticeship
- apply the principles of prehospital management
- understand multidisciplinary working methods, in particular with the emergency and fire services (discipline 1) and law enforcement (discipline 3)
- understand the concept of civil security
- understand the importance of leadership, assertiveness, team assertiveness and task management
- know how to share an awareness of the situation
- deepen their reflection on their autonomy in the tasks learned, in particular for the care of critical patients
- have a reflective approach to learning
- know and apply the principles of the care of a patient presenting a pre-hospital trauma, including hospital addressing

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
ETC training
The PHTLS course consists of several learning methods: - individual study, individual exercise, team exercise, observation, imitation, simulation, feedback
Supervised exercises in emergency medicine
The learning methods during exercises and (semi)directed workshops are:
- the demonstration
- exercise
- support and guidance by tutor
- group discussion
- feedback and debriefing
- experience sharing
- the transmission
During these exercises and workshops, each student becomes active in their learning

Organizational remarks
ETC training
You do not have to register on the PHTLS website to request a course if you are part of the relevant specialization master's
You will be notified directly by email of your registration for a course session by the course center.
The simulation center (CARE simulation: www.caresimulation.uliege.be) manages the organisation; this will be outsourced to the André Renard site, which has an agreement with PHTLS Belgium.
