The purpose of this class is to provide a comprehensive course that
equips the tactical operator or lay person with the concepts and skill
sets necessary to provide life saving emergency medical intervention.
The program begins with the goal of extending the 'Platinum 10 Minutes'
to allow the victim of interpersonal violence entry into the EMS
system. Understanding the commonalities between this problem and the
military TCCC model and the differences between these situations and
the conventional civil EMS/ Public Safety model serve as a framework
upon which the more advanced skill sets are introduced.
All students will receive a Blow Out Kit at the conclusion of class.
