Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is a “hands-on” method of instruction specifically developed for the military and those individuals requiring special tactics and/or immediate trauma skills when battlefield, remote care, prolonged transport, or unique rescue and/or environmental conditions exist. Who benefits from TCCC? Everyone from the first responder with no previous medical training to the most experienced emergency medicine provider. This is due to TCCC concentration on treatment of the trauma casualty/patient with particular emphasis on penetrating, blunt, and blast trauma in conjunction with environmental and situational concerns. TCCC is a level based program exclusively designed to instruct the training in an individual or joint format, allowing both the operators and medical providers to participate in a course of instruction simultaneously at a level of training, skill and interest for all members of the unit. We maximize the learning potential by utilizing customized exercise scenarios developed to employ all aspects of your team and the complications they may face.
This course requires no previous medical training to attend, but it is recommended that students bring their individual field or tactical gear, and personal medical kit for implementation into exercise scenarios. Scenarios should include tactical movement, combat shooting, counter ambush, mobility operations, officer rescue, and more.
