TACTICAL MEDICINE AND TRAUMA CARE

JULY 30-31, 2022

BE THE DIFFERENCE >>>

Worst-case scenarios don’t get much worse than when bullets start flying. And the unfortunate reality is that when that day comes, it’s highly likely someone’s catching a gunshot wound. Knowing how to respond in that moment is critical if you want to make sure everyone goes home at the end of the day. Stopping the bleed, maintaining an airway, sealing the box, and treating for shock should be second nature, as familiar to you as drawing your pistol or reloading your carbine. Whether you’re LE or military, or a civilian training to respond to a mass shooter, everyone should have the skills to keep an emergency from becoming a tragedy. 

Here’s what you’ll learn in this course: 

  • How to properly perform triage when dealing with multiple patients
  • Controlling severe bleeding – you’ll get lots of hands-on tourniquet practice
  • How to read vital signs and perform a patient assessment in a high-stress environment
  • Recognizing and treating different types of shock
  • Providing medical care under fire, and how to move patients to safety
  • Treating penetrating trauma such as stab wounds
  • How to keep your patients stable if you can’t evacuate immediately
  • How to build a trauma kit that fits your mission and skills

And here’s what else you’ll get:

  • Hot, home-cooked meals to keep you going throughout the course
  • Complimentary camping onsite
  • Unlimited instructor support after class
  • Access to exclusive alumni training events

That worst-case scenario can either be a living hell that you replay over and over for the rest of your life, or a story of how you came through and rose to the occasion. The difference between the two is your training. Get the training, and be the difference. No prior experience is required for this class, however, we do highly recommend reviewing our FAQs page for further information and what to bring.
