The program of instruction (POI) consists of didactics and skill stations (Crawl), a mass casualty (MASCAL) situational training exercise (STX) (Walk), and clinical integration into an urban Level I trauma center (Run). Over the program\u2019s 25-year existence, there has been no report on the subjective assessment of the rotator\u2019s perceived effectiveness of the program as a whole. We hypothesized that a post-course survey would evaluate the POI at the ATTC and that ATTC graduates would subjectively describe improved operational readiness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Post-course surveys were delivered electronically to rotating FRSDs as a graduation requirement.

There were 41 general surgeons, 19 orthopedic surgeons, 48 emergency medicine physicians, 51 CRNAs, 53 critical care nurses, 48 emergency room nurses, 7 other nurses, 57 LPNs, 82 combat medics, 50 surgical technicians, 6 physician assistants, and 23 medical service corps officers. The post-course survey response rate was 441\/485 (90.9%), with nearly all respondents answering the entire survey. Among respondents, 402\/440 (91.4%) respondents agreed that the MASCAL STX better prepared them to manage a MASCAL scenario; 410\/441 (93.0%) respondents agreed that clinical rotations were useful for FRSD team development; 401\/440 (90.9%) respondents agreed that their experience at ATTC made them more confident in performing their Individual Critical Task List (ICTL) skills in the deployed setting; 402\/424 (94.8%) respondents agreed that their experience at ATTC made them more knowledgeable of the Joint Trauma System (JTS) Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs); 398\/425 (93.6%) respondents agreed their experience at ATTC contributed favorably to their operational readiness; and 437\/441 (99.1%) respondents indicated they would recommend the course to another deploying FRSD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>POI at the ATTC subjectively improves FRSD collective and individual preparedness for deployed combat casualty care.
