The Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC) is widely recognized by hospitals and trauma centres all over the world. It provides the knowledge, critical thinking skills, and application-based training that is necessary to keep trauma patients safe and improve outcomes.

It is designed for nurses practising in emergency, acute care and operating rooms in rural hospitals.

The University of Calgary Office of Continuing Medical Education and Professional Development organized a two day TNCC course in Banff in January 2023. Class size was limited to six rural nurses.

The Rural Health Professions Actrion Plan, RhPAP, endeavours to make continuing professional development affordable for rural nurses.

RhPAP provided bursaries to fund the full course fee for each of the six rural Alberta nurses attending the TNCC in Banff.

The nurses were from Camrose, Banff (2), Innisfail, Daysland and Pincher Creek.
