The Knowledge Management team at EACE creates and hosts various educational activities. These include the Federal Advanced Skills Training, the Limb Trauma Educational Series, and eLearning modules for continuing education. These programs target clinicians who work with amputation or limb trauma care. The DHA J-7 Continuing Education Program Office offers continuing education credits for many of these activities.
Limb Trauma Educational Series
What is LTES?
In April 2022, Amputation Care Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes became the Limb Trauma Educational Series. As we pivot to offer more clinically relevant education on limb trauma, the name of the monthly series needed to change to encompass all aspects of the material covered.
The LTES is an educational platform for information-sharing from experts to the multi-disciplinary team that treats patients with an extremity trauma. Monthly sessions are aimed to bring new material, case studies, and best practices into the clinical setting in order to provide exceptional care to the limb trauma and limb loss population. The LTES strives to improve outcomes by reducing variations in processes of care and sharing of best practices and expertise.

EACE is the leading advocate for treatment and research of Department of Defense patients with extremity trauma and amputation and works to enhance collaboration between national extremity trauma and amputation care providers as well as conduct scientific research to improve the function and quality of life for patients with traumatic extremity injuries. EACE hosts FAST (formerly Federal Advanced Amputation Skills Training) as an educational offering for clinicians involved in limb trauma and amputation care.
This immersive three-day program will emphasize the intersection of mental health and trauma care in a blended format of didactic and hands-on learning modules. Our intent is to pull experts from across mental health and trauma care to provide updates, insights, and best practices to a multi-disciplinary audience of rehabilitation professionals to answer the following questions:
- What do rehabilitation professionals need to know about the psychology of trauma injuries?
- How can the rehabilitation help with the mental recovery after devastating injury that may include amputation?
- What unique strategies are there to assist with the patient journey to recovery, such as music therapy, art therapy, adaptive sports, etc., and what is their grounding in mental health?
- What is the current research (within the last 5 years)?
Each module will run 90-120 minutes with at least 45 minutes of an interactive activity.
We welcome your innovative abstracts to help shape this dynamic training event. Don’t miss this opportunity to collaborate and contribute to advancing care for patients with extremity trauma.
Please use dha.ncr.dha-re-activity.mbx.eace-clinical-affairs@health.mil for all questions related to this event.
