I personally like the opportunities that are presented by a combined
multidisciplinary course with separation for the appropriate skill stations.

Trauma is managed with a team approach, to build the knowledge and skill
base as a team has a lot of merit in my mind. Having said that, I can still
see value in the TNCC. Certainly in Australia at present there are very few
alternative courses available.

	K,

	There are those of us also, who teach the TNCC and understand its
	limitations and expand with up to date information.  (Some of which
comes
	from this list as well as Trauma 2xxx and other "current" resources)

	Gotta stay current
