Trauma Med Instructor Course

Trauma Med Instructor Course

3-Day Instructor Course • 24 Minnesota POST credits

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.

Course Objectives

  • Select, stage, and maintain medical equipment for patrol and special operations
  • Manage multi-system trauma patients under stress
  • Perform advanced wound packing and hemorrhage control
  • Address airway and breathing; manage circulation and shock
  • Apply self-aid and buddy-aid procedures
  • Prevent and treat hypothermia in the field
  • Develop skill-building drills and scenario-based evolutions
  • Design realistic scenarios and conduct effective debriefs

What to Bring

  • Pen and notebook
  • Aid bag or medical kit (optional)
  • Comfortable training clothing suitable for scenario work
