HIGH-RISK FIRST RESPONDER | TCCC

San Diego, Ca | Summer 2011

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. This course is designed for non-medical personnel and will provide all public safety personnel the skills and ability to keep themselves and others alive with minimal equipment until a more comprehensive medical solution is ascertained.

This course is valuable to anyone working in a tactical setting and is the most realistic tactical trauma medical course available to public safety personnel.
