Course Description
This two day (16 hour) course is aimed at prehospital providers. The course combines didactic lecture with practical hands-on experience. This
course teaches all of the material in the one day program with the addition of more advanced medical intervention techniques such as needle
decompression of the chest for tension pneumothorax, cricothyroidotomy for massive facial injury, resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock, and
pain relief. The TCCC course uses the PHTLS Military textbook and is fully compliant with the Department of Defense’s Committee on Tactical
Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) guidelines.
The Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) course, developed by the U.S. military, introduces evidence-based, life-saving techniques and
strategies for providing best-practice trauma care on the battlefield and tactical situation. This course has been documented to produce
dramatic improvements in casualty survival in Iraq and Afghanistan. While this course was originally developed for combat troops being
deployed, this course has obvious application to the civilian tactical setting and is now available to be taught outside of the military.
The Rocky Mountain Institute for EMS Education and All-Hazards Preparedness conducts TCCC courses under the auspices of The National
Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) program, the recognized world leader in
prehospital trauma education. PHTLS combines the expertise of world-class trauma surgeons, emergency physicians, paramedics and EMS
educators.
NAEMT’s TCCC course is accredited by the Continuing Education Coordinating Board for Emergency
Medical Services (CECBEMS) and recognized by the National Registry of EMTs (NREMT). TCCC is the only set of battlefield trauma care guidelines
endorsed by the American College of Surgeons.
