The burn module has three cognitive learning objectives and two performance learning objectives.

The cognitive learning objectives are to identify the scene safety issues associated with burn scenarios and any actions required to secure the scene, identify the severity of the burns. and estimate the percentage of the body surface involved in the burn.

The performance learning objectives are to demonstrate how to apply a burn dressing and techniques to prevent heat loss (hypothermia) in a burn trauma casualty.

The critical aspects are to recognize safety concerns in burn scenarios, know the types of burns by severity and know how to estimate body surface area affected by a burn, and then to apply burn dressing(s) and perform the necessary skills to successfully prevent heat loss (hypothermia) in a burn trauma casualty.
