​
The Definitive Surgical Trauma Care (DSTC) course, developed under the auspices of the International Association for Trauma Surgery and Intensive Care (IATSIC), is currently the most advanced trauma training program available worldwide.
​
The DSTC course is designed to enhance the strategic thinking, decision-making, and practical surgical skills of qualified surgeons and advanced surgical trainees in managing severely injured patients. This intensive three-day program includes lectures, interactive case discussions, and animal laboratory-based surgical skills training.

Since its inception, the DSTC course has been established globally, with programs in Europe, the USA, Australia, Asia, and South Africa.
