- Registrations may be moved to a different course date with a 30-day notice. This allows time to find another participant to register and review course materials.
- Because of supply chain issues, physical copies of the course material may not be available. All ATLS study materials will be sent to you by email after successfully registering for a course. You may also contact CPSS (Iowa-simulation@uiowa.edu) and, if available, ATLS books can be sent for a fee of $30, which includes the ATLS book and priority mail shipping.
