NAEMT TCCC

NAEMT TCCC

This is an NAEMT TCCC – MP course (TCCC for Medical Personnel).  This is a 16-hour course for military medical personnel  including medics, corpsmen, and pararescue personnel deploying in support of combat operations.  Other military medical personnel, including nurses and physicians, are eligible to take this course.  Interagency personnel and other contract organizations may require this course as well, although NAEMT TECC would be more appropriate.  This is perfectly acceptable.

Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is developed by the U.S. Department of Defense Defense Health Agency (DHA) Joint Trauma System to teach  evidence-based, life-saving techniques and strategies for providing the best trauma care in a hostile environment.  NAEMT conducts TCCC courses as specified by the DHA-JTS.

The foundational medical science upon which TCCC is based is published in NAEMT’s PHTLS Military textbook in which the military chapters are written by the Co-TCCC. TCCC courses offered by NAEMT are endorsed by the Joint Trauma System and the American College of Surgeons. NAEMT’s TCCC-MP and TCCC-CLS courses are accredited by CAPCE and recognized by NREMT.

This course will cover multiple tactical environment topics, to include:
