ADLS is a more advanced practicum course for the trained BDLS provider. It is an intensive 2 day course that allows students to demonstrate competencies in casualty decontamination, essential skills, and mass casualty incident information systems/technology applications. Using simulated all-hazards scenarios and mass causality incidents, it makes use of four interactive sessions in which participants treat simulated patients in various disaster drills and situations. Training is focused on the development of "hands on" skills to allow participants to apply the knowledge learned in BDLS.
During ADLS, the interactive scenarios and drills utilize high-fidelity manikins and volunteer patients to gain a realistic experience in treating those pathologic patient conditions not routinely encountered by the responders and health care providers. Hands-on exercises teach practical skills, such as decontamination and use of protective equipment, and provide instruction in topics that traditionally are not addressed in the education of most health care professionals
