Triage and trauma often refer to the assessment of shock and injury in an emergency. Students can learn how to identify high-risk patients who have a traumatic brain injury, neurogenic or cardiogenic shock. Through classroom study and on-hands training, students may learn how to evaluate and treat acute issues.

Students can select individual courses in accordance with their interests. Students may also structure a series of classes in a way that might achieve specific objectives such as improving job skills, pursuing new careers, or obtaining certificates or degrees.
