VATA Intro to Tactical Medicine
Two Full Days
Prerequisite: None
Class Size: 8-30
This course is designed to teach the armed individual the basic principles of care under fire and dealing with the main elements of combat trauma. Based on the military's Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), the course begins with an introduction to the Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK) and the tools of combat medicine. The students will become familiar with the application of these tools and techniques through classroom lecture and practical exercises. On day two, we jump right into advanced patient assessment. The student will quickly progress into practical exercises utilizing a "wet lab" with realistic training props and scenarios. The students will become familiar and comfortable with the application of more advanced techniques in trauma medicine through classroom lecture and practical exercises.
The following topics will be covered during the course:
Principles of TCCC

Triaging patients
Use of tourniquets
