What is necessary to hold a Provider/Instructor, Toxic Terrorism or Chemical Burns course?
First, the Regional Director should be contacted and a Course Director assigned to the course. If the Course Director is not a physician or Board-Certified Toxicologist, a verified Instructor who is also a physician and one who is a Board-Certified Toxicologist will need to be available during the Provider course. A physician and Board-Certified Toxicologist are not necessary for the AHLS for Chemical Burns or AHLS for Toxic Terrorism courses. The facility (lecture hall) for the course must have ample seating and room for a/v equipment, allowing all participants to see the slides. A small number of rooms (up to four) with a capacity of 25 is necessary for the afternoon scenarios for the course.
