Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC)
For the military medical community and other medical personnel that want a trauma class geared towards a tactical/combat environment
The TCCC-MP (TCCC for Medical Personnel) course is designed for combat EMS/military personnel, including medics, corpsmen, and pararescue personnel deploying in support of combat operations. Obsidian also offers the NAEMT course Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) for civilian tactical EMS.
The TCCC-AC (TCCC for All Combatants) course is designed for non-medical military personnel and includes first responder skills appropriate for soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines.
The Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) course introduces evidence-based, life-saving techniques and strategies for providing the best trauma care on the battlefield. NAEMT conducts TCCC courses under the auspices of its PHTLS program, the recognized world leader in prehospital trauma education. NAEMT’s TCCC courses use the PHTLS Military textbook and are fully compliant with the Department of Defense’s Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) guidelines. It is the only TCCC course endorsed by the American College of Surgeons. Combat medical personnel and non-medical combatants in U.S. and most coalition militaries are now being trained to manage combat trauma on the battlefield in accordance with TCCC Guidelines. There are two different versions of the TCCC depending on the course audience. Please see the Course Contents sections for details of each version.
Continuing Education Hours: This continuing education activity is approved by the National Association of EMTs, and offers 16.00 Continuing Education Hours (CEHs) for the initial MP classroom course and 8.00 Continuing Education Hours (CEHs) for the AC course. A renewal classroom course option is not available at this time.
