HIGH-RISK FIRST RESPONDER

San Diego, Ca

This unique Combat-Medicine based First Responder course was developed for Military, Law Enforcement, and Security Teams working under hostile conditions where conventional civilian emergency medicine protocols proved ineffective. Operating in a hazardous tactical environment highlighted the need to develop and employ trauma management strategies that ensured optimized medical care and effective tactical response.

This course is not a “First Aid” course but focuses on serious wounds caused by gunshots, blasts, and other life threatening injuries that may be encountered in a military, law enforcement or high-risk security environment.
