Even if  it is not a fully equipped course like the ATLS, merely giving them
an idea  of the potential problems and what to look for (protection,
stabilisation  etc) before referring the patient onto the nearest appropriate
facility,  should do wonders for their confidence and pateint  care.

what about this?

ITLS is more scalable and has more emphasis on field/austere enviroments  
than ATLS. In addition, the cost is much lower, and reduced fees are also  
available.

While not to the level of complexity of the ATLS program, I was favorably  
impressed by the information put out during the recent course that was held at  
my facility.
