ATS MEMBERSHIP
ATS membership reflects the full spectrum of trauma care. Individual members range from pre-hospital personnel to those who make up the team who cares for trauma patients and their families. Trauma care requires a team of experts working together – it requires institutions ready to provide the appropriate care needed.
