What is AIS?
The Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) provides researchers with a simple numerical method for ranking and comparing injuries by severity and to standardize the terminology used to describe injuries.
The AIS is the foundation for the Injury Severity Score (ISS) which assesses the overall injury severity of the patient.
The AIS has been universally accepted. Accurate and consistent application of the AIS is fundamental to sound injury data collection globally.
Who should apply?
This is a refresher course only. Participants must have completed the full 2 day AIS and Injury Scaling: Uses and Techniques Course.
The refresher course is not accredited with the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine (AAAM) but is a useful update for experienced injury coders.
