TCCC-AC Course

Service Description

Official TCCC training for AC (all combatants) in the principles of tactical trauma care on the battlefield. It's a known fact that almost 90% of American service men and women who die from combat wounds, do so before they arrive at a medical treatment facility. This figure emphasises the need for high quality, regulated, tactical medicine training to better equip combatants, and improve the level of care provided on the battlefield. ​Medetac is Israel's exclusive TCCC certified training centre, licensed to offer certified TCCC courses, as well as TCCC Instructor Training. Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) was created by the U.S. Department of Defence Committee on TCCC (Co-TCCC) in order to teach evidence-based, life-saving techniques and strategies for providing the best trauma care on the battlefield. ​The TCCC course trains participants to provide high level and effective medical care while under attack and in harsh conditions. The focus is on providing critical care, using minimal equipment and maximum efficiency. The course is conducted in one day, beginning with theoretical training, and then progressing into skills stations to offer practical hands on training. The course includes a written exam, and simulated drills using high fidelity manikins and special effects to create lifelike scenarios. Trainees who successfully complete the course will receive a formal TCCC certificate from NAEMT, accredited by CAPCE, and recognized by NREMT.
