It is clear that many people are responsible for<br />

development of the Tenth Edition, but the outstanding<br />

staff in the <strong>ATLS</strong> Program Office deserves special<br />

mention. Their dedication and hard work not only<br />

produced the new edition while ensuring that each<br />

one is better than the last but also facilitates its use in<br />

hundreds of courses around the world each year.<br />
