Advanced Burn Life Support - Instructor Course
The Advanced Burn Life Support (ABLS) Instructor Course is a six-hour course designed for those physicians, nurses, nurse practioners, and physician assistants who have experience in daily patient management of burn injuries. The American Burn Association maintains the records that identify all persons who participated in the ABLS Instructor Course and also those given a certificate of completion for the ABLS Instructor Course and thus authorized as ABLS Instructors.
The Regional Chariman and/or the American Burn Association identify a Coordinator and a Course Medical Director to work with the American Burn Association in organization of the course. All Instructor Courses must be taught by at least an National Faculty and an ABLS Educator. The instructors must:
- Successfully complete the ABLS Instructor Course (granted a certificate of completion for the ABLS Instructor Course).
- Teach (2) ABLS Provider Courses while being observed by National Faculty.
- Be approved as an ABLS Instructor.
The ABA designates this continuing medical education activity for up to 4.5 credit hours in Category 1 of the Physician's Recognization Award of the American Medical Association. This program also has been approved by AACN Certification Corporation guidlines for 4.5 contact hours, CERP Category A.
Only upon the determination of the course faculty that the participant successfully completed the simulations, the skill testing stations, and the micro-teaching session is the participant given a certificate of completion for the ABLS Instructor Course.

Cost of the course is $375 for physicians and $250 for all other personnel. There is a $75 discount for North Carolina residents.
