ATS Cancellation Policies


All memberships are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Course transfers may be made at any time without an additional charge, provided space is available in the requested course. A $100 administrative fee will be charged for all refunds. "No shows" are subject to the full registration fee.

Cancellations/transfers must be made in writing no less than 15 business days prior to the first day of the course. No refunds or credits will be issued once the course has started. The course is subject to change and/or cancellation.

You may cancel your registration at any time up to 15 business days before your course begins and receive a refund, less an administrative fee of $100. Within 10 business days of the course, the American Trauma Society will not issue a refund. However, you may transfer your registration to a future course at no cost, as long as you attend within the next 12 months. Please be aware that if you cannot attend the course and fail to give proper notification prior to your course date, you will forfeit your entire course fee.

You may cancel your exam appointment at any time up to 24 hours before your scheduled exam and receive a refund, less an administrative fee of $100. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the exam or anytime after the testing authorization window will not receive a refund from the American Trauma Society. Applicants who miss an exam appointment ("No-Show") will not be eligible for a refund.

You may reschedule your exam at any time within the testing authorization window (up to 24 hours before the scheduled exam) without penalty.

If your fees have been paid by credit card and you are eligible for a refund, it will be returned to your credit card within approximately 15 days of your notification to the ATS. Once a credit card refund has been processed, you will receive a notification of the refund to the email address you provided at the time of your registration. If the credit card refund cannot be processed, you will receive a refund check (please see "Refund from Non-Credit Card Payments").

If your fees have been paid with a method other than a credit card (check, money order, electronic check, bank wire, etc.), and you are eligible to receive a refund, the ATS will issue a check to the address you provided at the time of your registration. The ATS takes up to 30 days from the cancellation date for a refund to be issued.
