Trauma Med Instructor Course
This advanced course builds on our Trauma Med program and prepares officers to teach lifesaving medical skills at their agencies. Developed by Army Special Forces medics and law enforcement with special operations experience, the training is delivered by instructors with real-world tactical medicine backgrounds.
When seconds count and EMS is minutes away, properly trained officers save lives. Students learn to assess under stress, perform critical interventions, and—just as importantly—transfer those skills through clear lesson plans, skill drills, and realistic scenarios.
