Developed by NAEMT’s Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) Committee, the TECC program is based on the guidelines from the Committee on Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (Co-TECC) and the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) program. TECC uses lessons learned from our military and applies them to the civilian world of tactical medicine.

THIS IS NOT A TACTICS OR RESCUE TASK FORCE BASED COURSE

This 16-hour course covers topics designed to decrease preventable death in the tactical situation. Topics include: Hemorrhage control; surgical airway control and needle decompression; strategies for treating wounded responders in threatening environments; caring for pediatric patients; and techniques for dragging and carrying victims to safety.

In order to ensure maximum student participation, individual class size is limited to 30 students. Per student TECC Course Cost - $65, includes lunch both days.

If there are any questions or concerns regarding this training opportunity, please do not hesitate to contact the course manager, Captain Robert Kerchief at robert.kerchief@us.af.mil, or (520) 456-7341.
