ADLS Course Description: ADLS® is an advanced practicum course for the trained BDLS® provider. It is an intensive, 2-day course that allows students to demonstrate competencies in casualty decontamina-tion, specified essential skills, and mass casualty incident information systems/technology applications. Using simulated, all-hazards scenarios and mass causality incidents, ADLS® makes use of four interac-tive sessions in which participants treat simulated patients in various disaster drills and situations. Train-ing is focused on the development of hands-on skills to allow participants to apply the knowledge learned in BDLS®. ADLS®’s interactive scenarios and drills utilize high-fidelity mannequins and volunteer patients to simu-late a realistic experience in treating pathologic patient conditions not routinely encountered by the re-sponders and health care providers. Hands-on exercises teach practical skills, such as decontamination and use of protective equipment, and provide instruction in topics that traditionally are not addressed in health care education curricula.
