2-Day Course –
“The fate of the wounded rests in the hands of the one who applies the first dressing.”
– Dr. Nicholas Senns, founder of the Association of Military Surgeons”
Welcome to our flagship trauma course. This course was developed by current Army Special Forces medics (Green Berets), experienced career paramedics working in high trauma call volume areas, and LEO’s working in special operations. If someone is injured and you are the first person there, what do you do? When you consider what it takes to be well rounded, a medical skill set is high on the list, especially trauma. It saves lives.
