What our students say

...Both erudite and entertaining with a massive dose of brutal reality

The Crisis-Medicine TC2 Course is an outstanding block of curriculum for organizations aiming to bring individuals and groups up to a vital standard for emergency response to trauma casualties. Dr. Shertz delivers compelling and entertaining, no-nonsense solutions to critical problems. The material is both erudite and entertaining with a massive dose of brutal reality and comprehensive trauma problem solving for the tactical paradigm. Our unit has implemented this program as a required block for all personnel. Excellent training.

I wanted to thank you for the recent TECC class. The class was of superb educational value to me. The material was presented in a very palatable manner; every slide kept my utmost attention. All the literature reviews added credibility to the practical material. At the same time, I appreciated the criticism of many studies. All of the real-life examples were right on spot and helped to highlight the theory. I liked the fact that this is the material that is constantly updated. For example, the i-Gel that was prominently presented in an online TECC just a few years ago was downgraded in this class.

The frequent shifts between lectures and practical exercises were very helpful in retaining the material.

The scenarios day was excellent. I liked how efficiently condensed the exercises were. Even though everything was on the clock, we had plenty of time to do after-action reports. The instructors were very experienced in the material and teaching.

You definitely own every aspect of the material that you present. It absolutely looks like a constantly evolving product of your lifework.

I left the course with a clear roadmap of how I should approach and work up a casualty.

I have no doubt I will do other Crisis-Medicine classes that you offer online, as well as attend TECC in-person class again.

This was one of the best courses I've ever taken.

As an ER/Trauma/SWAT nurse, I was looking for a TECC course and I'm so glad I chose Crisis Medicine. Dr. Shertz is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to teach things in a way that keeps you engaged while filling you with valuable knowledge. He doesn't ramble; he gets straight to the point, and clearly knows his stuff.

I will be taking more courses by Crisis Medicine and highly recommend him to anyone in the medical field who is looking for TECC or other courses...

It is by far one of the best, if not the best medical classes I have ever taken

This class is top notch. It is by far one of the best, if not the best medical classes I have ever taken. Owner/ Instructor Dr. Mike Shertz is not only extremely knowledgeable and experienced in this field but can also effectively explain things in a way that makes sense for real world applications. This isn't one of those Paramedic / medical classes where you verbalize what you want done and move on. This is a class where you learn to work your problem in a very well orchestrated, real-world scenario, with real role players, and keep working the problem until it's solved.

Crisis Medicine overall sets the standard for real world medical training. I have done the 5 day Complete TC2 in-person class twice and each time learned new skills, techniques and other little nuggets of information.

...One of my favorite online classes in any subject I've ever taken.

Have you ever taken a class, and then been kinda bummed that it was over? This class was so interesting, and well given. The amount of information, plus just the way it was delivered was perfect. Dr. Shertz knows his stuff back and front and sideways. He’s got the resume to prove it. But he doesn’t act like a know it all. He acts like one of your peers showing you the way and it makes the information that much more interesting and easy to digest. This was one of my favorite online classes in any subject I've ever taken. Dr. Shertz and everyone who worked on this should be commended.

I can not recommend this course highly enough!

Having a background as both an EMT and Tactical Firearms instructor I thought I knew a lot but I was amazed at all the things I learned! Dr. Shertz teaches his curriculum in a very easy to understand and no nonsense way that applies directly to real world scenarios that many of us may face on a daily basis and takes the time to explain in detail how to address the crisis. The lectures are engaging and the training is spot on.

This course has been such a valuable experience

This course has been such a valuable experience for me and my team as we are updating and advancing our emergency preparedness for our school. Factually and realistically Mike has taught us how to mentally prepare for a crisis situation, manage staff, students and parents and certainly how to provide more than just basic first aid. Mike’s years of experience in this field become evident in his knowledge and style of teaching. Both helped us tremendously in retaining the information and building our own knowledge. Crisis Medicine has gone above and beyond to provide us with the critical information and supplies we needed to prepare for emergency situations in a school setting. Our school community feels more prepared because of it and we are grateful for their ongoing support!

A wealth of information designed to allow us to make good decisions when shit goes wrong.

I was in your Tactical First Aid class in June of 2016. I loved the class, both lectures and demos. The wealth of information designed to allow us to make good decisions when shit goes wrong. Now 734 days later, last Saturday, I was at the range for a steel challenge match and ended up addressing a 9mm ball round through a guy’s thigh. I was so glad I took that class.

I was so glad that I took YOUR class. Thank you for all the help.

The guy is fine. What struck me after the fact was that I didn’t consciously decide to take action, I just hauled ass around the berm and found myself gloved up and cutting a dude’s pants. It wasn’t a matter of confidence, more a deeper sense of duty (or maybe I just relished the opportunity). Your class made me a better person simply by triggering a more worthwhile response.

I'd give the course 5,000 stars...

This course is outstanding. Mike is a phenomenal instructor. He keeps you engaged and has set the course up to it is easy to follow. Whether you are new to first aid or a doctor, I promise you will find the course informative and entertaining. I love that his experience and training is reflected in the course as well. It is also great that he backs up everything with medical literature and research, and when he disagrees or has an opinion he clearly tells you it is his opinion and supports it with rational and solid reasoning. He is also quite witty and funny at times. Cannot wait to take the next course!

It is important to learn tactical care techniques as we are the first line of protection for our students. 

I completed the Tactical Casualty Care course both in-person and online. Being an educator at an elementary school, I think it is important to learn these tactical care techniques as we are the first line of protection for our students. The techniques can be used in any type of emergency situation earthquake, fire, and during active shooter situations. Mike is a great instructor providing information that is easy to understand, remember and replicate. I feel confident that I can help save a life!

I can assure you that the online course was an incredible way to learn, and will not disappoint.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly Recommend

I studied the Complete Tactical Casualty Care course online and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Dr. Shertz is an incredible presenter and clearly has a wealth of knowledge to share. I was kept interested throughout the entire course and honestly didn't want it to end. I would love to have completed the in-person course but living in Australia makes that difficult, hence why I completed the online course. I can assure you that the online course was an incredible way to learn, and will not disappoint. I highly recommend this course and thank Dr. Shertz for sharing his expertise and making it available online.

This course greatly exceeded expectations

First off, I am very skeptical of online courses and decided to give this a try. I took this course with some expectations, but this course greatly exceeded those expectations. Great for anyone with limited medical knowledge like myself. Like other reviews, I can say this is not death by PowerPoint and Doc Shertz utilizes self-experience and humor to keep you from getting bored. Nothing better than real-world experience.

I also don't have time to take an EMT Course or a paramedic course in person because of my job. If you are in the security industry and want to improve your resume and knowledge, this is the course for you!

Our Fire Department has benefitted tremendously from this course

I loved the course! I greatly appreciated the depth of information that went into each course topic. It was valuable for me to see information that was supported by literature, evidence, etc. through the lens of Dr. Shertz's unbiased opinion.

Myself, and the rest of our department participating in the course have benefited tremendously. I plan to make this course a requirement for the remainder of our team members and future team members, as I believe it helps create a solid foundation. I actually plan to go through it again while I still have access!! Thank you so much for all of your help along the way, and thank you all for developing a phenomenal course.

I've sat through hundreds of hours of online training. Dr. Shertz's course was totally different. He was engaging and authentic.

This is outstanding training. I'm a Firefighter, but I spent nearly a decade as a Federal agent, plus several years in two different branches of the military. In these jobs, I've sat through hundreds of hours of online training. Dr. Shertz's course was totally different. He was engaging and authentic. Rather than speeding through slides to get to the end of the course, I found myself taking notes, rewinding lectures, and viewing blocks of instruction multiple times until I was certain I understood the concepts. I appreciated his depth of knowledge and his passion for the subject matter is clear. This is a high-quality course that I'd recommend to both Firefighters and LEOs.

I wanted the best available, most realistic and comprehensive training.

I'm a high school teacher, and now I have a fairly new responsibility of bleeding control knowledge under "other duties as assigned."

I wanted the best available, most realistic and comprehensive training. After taking the course himself, as well as several others, my boyfriend decided this was the best course on the market for my additional responsibility at school. I have to agree; due to the training I received, I have successfully dealt with a 911 call, another lesser emergency, and have been able to identify and insist on the removal of 800 counterfeit tourniquets from our school classrooms.

Without the training from Crisis Medicine, I would not have been as prepared to confidently address these emergencies. I hope not to use these skills, but I know I can if my students and colleagues need.

I am much better-prepared thanks to the knowledge gained from the (online) course

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Online course--excellent

After reading the reviews already given...I'm not sure I can say anything that hasn't been said, except that I agree! With my years as a nurse, I could probably stumble through most crisis/trauma situations, but I now feel I am much better prepared thanks to the knowledge gained from the course. The format and presentation were both well done. Thanks, Dr. Shertz..for sharing your expertise with humor and common sense. Oh, and thanks for sharing your daughter in the videos, she looks like a treasure.

I really enjoyed the no-nonsense teaching

There is very little education available out there for active people (family, job) who are not available to take classes in a real school setting beyond what the Red Cross or AHA offers (BLS, First Aid). Seminars are expensive and not always available within a 300-mile radius. As a teacher and gun owner, basic trauma first aid/TECC is important. I have also invested in plenty of supplies to fill several IFAKs, and I am very familiar with commercial TECC supplies.

I was pleasantly surprised by the circumspect tone of the videos and the cautious approach to gear and recommendations (chest seals, for example). All in all, I was very satisfied by the course. Thank you.

Consider this training mandatory

If you are around guns or any other pursuit that puts you at risk of serious trauma, you need this training. It's focused, compelling, and backed by facts and data. I can only hope that any first-responders who treat me or those close to me have had this training or have been trained by those who have. If you carry, this training is as important as the law of self-defense and shooting training.

In seamanship, the primary rule is: keep the water out. This class could be nicknamed: keep the blood in.

In basic boating seamanship, there are a couple of primary rules and one is: Keep the water out. Dr. Shertz's class on Tactical Casualty Care could be nicknamed: Keep the blood in. Dr. Shertz is a dynamic and crisp instructor and compelling educator. I unlearned years of Hollywood war movie myths on what a bullet does to the body and learned what really happens when a person (or gelatin) gets shot.

Most importantly I learned what I could do to help 'keep the blood in' and how to go about that to a reasonable degree. Both the classroom and hands-on instruction were thorough and I recommend the class to anyone who wants to become more educated in tactical casualty care, or wants to possibly be of use if found in a direct or indirect threat event with casualties and minimal equipment.

...Refreshing to watch an online class that kept my attention

After being in Public Safety for over 20 years in a mix of LE and Fire/EMS it was refreshing to watch an online class that kept my attention. Being a Tactical Medic this CE was extremely relevant and will do our team well. I look forward to the other classes Crisis-Medicine offers. I must also add the customer service is amazing. Prompt email response, and genuine willingness to work with us, and doing so the whole time in a nice friendly manner. You can not go wrong by using this group! Excellent job from A to Z.

...one of the top 10 trainings I've taken. Period.

My Lt asked me to evaluate the course and see if it was something we should offer to the rest of the agency. After taking this course, I am giving him a resounding yes.

In 25 years of LE experience, I have sat through HOURS of in-person and online training. This is by far one of the best online courses I have ever taken. I might even say the top 10 trainings period. The Dr. was informative, engaging and enjoyable to watch.

This ranks in the top classes I have taken.  Maybe the best.  Exceptionally well done!

I just completed the [online] TC2 course and thought I'd drop you a note and let you know how much I liked the course. Actually loved the course! I am a CPA and over the years have done a ton of CPE to maintain my certification and this ranks in the top classes I have taken. Maybe the best. Exceptionally well done!

Thank you for providing this material. I hope I never have to use it, but as with CPR, you never know. I have had to use CPR a couple of times, so I'll sleep better after taking this course should I ever be in a situation where these skills are needed.

The material is presented in such a deft manner with illustrative examples and reinforced with repetition that retention of information comes pleasantly easy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well worth the investment!

Yes, as Dr. Shertz says in his intro, he provides a lot of information in these lectures. “Encyclopedic” I believe was one of the terms he used, however, I never found an encyclopedia nearly as interesting nor as engaging as his topics and style of teaching. As an advanced practitioner of medicine, I find the “why“ almost as important as the “what“, and Mike does an excellent job of explaining why certain procedures, techniques, and tools are superior to alternatives.

The material is presented in such a deft manner with illustrative examples and reinforced with repetition that retention of information comes pleasantly easy. Dr. Shertz’s expertise in this subject matter is evident as he proficiently breaks down complex medical concepts for learners of all backgrounds. I am also impressed by the ease of use of the electronic platform. It has been easy to start, stop, and resume lectures as my busy schedule allows. All in all, I have truly enjoyed this lecture series and feel that my medical practice has benefited. My investment in this educational program has been well worth my time and my ducats.

This online course brings you as close to real hands-on training as I can imagine

This online course brings you as close to real hands-on training as I can imagine and though it can’t replace practical training, it very likely outmatches many practical courses out there on the instructional side.

Mike Shertz has a solid background in combat casualty care in military, law enforcement, and civilian settings. He presents his material in a way that makes you feel like following an actual class. Good presentation skills and a sense of humour make it enjoyable to listen to him.

The online course is professionally made and offers you theory and skill videos, different quizzes about the topics of TCCC and a summary manual. After finishing the course, you can also print a certificate of your participation. You will learn not just how different techniques work, but also the why, results of different studies, historical background, statistics from military all over the world, and alternative techniques in case one doesn’t work. The videos contain a wide range of medical diagrams, pictures of casualties, videos where you see the techniques conducted on actual patients, followed by “pig-lab” videos and training on dummies, and even cadavers.

I highly liked the Instructor’s mindset regarding having a Plan B. By the end of the course you will not just have a primary and alternative, but also a contingency and emergency plan for almost all the techniques. His SF background really shows up, when he shows you how to improvise with the most basic and often improvised tools, in case you run out of commercially available products.

If you are looking for a way to self-study and improve your knowledge about this topic, I can highly recommend this course.

This course is the real deal.

I'm a first-responder in a rural town in South Africa. Our national murder rate is 36/100 000 (8th highest in the world). I am trained in advanced First Aid and EMT-B (non-certified). No ambulance gets here in less than 35 minutes. Often none are available. Scenarios run the gamut of farm attacks, to cash-in transit heists, to cops shooting blindly into bushes to 'flush out' perpetrators (for the sake of BLM we have no white police officers). The last 'firearm' murder was with a .177" air rifle point-blank to the chest. Basically anything goes. Of course, there's the 'chainsaw vs own leg' type scenarios too. This is one of the most important courses I have ever taken. If you've been in a situation where you're wondering if you'll die here today, you've come to the right place. It could well mean that nobody dies.

...Extremely comprehensive foundation to prehospital emergency medicine and crisis management.

The Complete TC2 is an exceptional course that provides an extremely comprehensive foundation to prehospital emergency medicine and crisis management. Dr. Shertz deftly explains complex concepts in an easy-to-understand format while also providing a breakdown analysis of current studies relevant to the topic. He teaches you how to identify life-threatening injuries in trauma cases, and how to sort most critical from least. The skills breakdowns were easy to follow along, which is not always an easy feat to accomplish in a virtual setting. Dr. Shertz utilizes his background in SF tactics and emergency medicine to create memorable, realistic scenarios that facilitate the application and retention of course material.

I find the fact Dr. Shertz delivers this difficult content with such easy affability speaks greatly to his professionalism and subject matter expertise. This course is perfect for anyone who has ever wondered ‘what if’ and ‘what would I do’ in emergency situations. Triaging doesn’t have to be complicated, and even if one person were to implement some of these assessments and skills in the event of a crisis situation, the victims of such an event would stand a much higher chance of survival than not.

...Depth of his knowledge of treating casualties in the tactical environment is second to none

The ATC2 course came highly recommended to me by a very close friend and Navy SEAL and it did not disappoint. I have an intermediate background in TacMed and was looking for some refresher material to integrate into my team's training but ended up receiving so much more. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy Doc Shertz makes this course to follow as many online courses can be quite stale. The depth of his knowledge of treating casualties in the tactical environment is second to none and his teaching methodologies kept me engaged and very focused. Well done, Sir, well done! I would absolutely take another Crisis Medicine course without hesitation. If you're skeptical about online training through them, don't be. He's the real deal and you will not be disappointed.

Clear explanations and demonstrations, honest assessments of gear and techniques, and a straight-up, no-BS approach to saving lives.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tactical Casualty Care -- take it!
Excellent course. Mike knows his stuff -- he has seen, treated, and photographed just about every trauma a body can sustain. Clear explanations and demonstrations, honest assessments of gear and techniques, and a straight-up, no-BS approach to saving lives. My last Tactical First Aid training was early 2000's vintage, so TC2 was not only a great refresher but a great update -- lots of new material. If for some reason you're on the fence, take this class! Everyone should have this kind of life-saving knowledge

Excellent Course

This is an excellent course and should be a must have for every prehospital provider and LEO. This course gives you profound knowledge which exceeds the curriculum of TECC and gives you a complete review of the guidelines.

Dr. Mike Shertz is an excellent teacher, humorous, an outstanding presenter, diverting but enormously profound. One of the best courses I participated. Definitely worth the money and time spent.

One of the best training experiences I've ever had, provided me with simple, effective life-saving tools I hope never to employ.

I have taken Crisis' one day, [in-person] TCC class in 2010 as well as the [in-person] Advanced TC2 class in 2014, both through Insights Training Center. I cannot speak highly enough of Mike's pedagogical approach, from the quality and depth of the instructional content to his ability as a speaker and instructor to engage his audience and impart new skills and knowledge. I've taken classes with several of the "big names" in tactical training and Mike is among the best instructors with whom I've been fortunate to train.

In TC2, Mike skillfully interleaved lecture material and hands-on labs. Let's face it, few people want to sit in a room listening to someone talk, but Mike kept it completely engaging and always just the right length before breaking or transitioning to a hands-on practical session to drill the material further. I did not feel a single minute was 'wasted time' or find myself glancing at a watch. The final day of ATC2 was purely scenario-based training and from the facility used to the realistic makeup/practical effects employed to simulate trauma to the those who played victims in the drills, every bit was absolutely top-notch. It was one of the best training experiences I've ever had and provided me with simple, effective life-saving tools I hope never to employ. I cannot recommend Mike and Crisis Medicine highly enough.

Enjoyable, knowledgeable, and detailed

The Advanced TC2 online course is very enjoyable.
The presenter Dr. Mike Shertz is very knowledgeable, the way the course is presented is very detailed and the skills that you will learn could save a life, in a tactical or everyday life.
I will be doing the Complete TC2 in the near future.

It was incredible how much the class learned

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Essential Training For Everyone

I've taken the TC2 in-person class, and it was incredible how much the class learned. I decided to take the Advanced TC2 online to add to my knowledge base. What you learn in this class will help you aid yourself and others. Dr. Shertz will tell you what's bogus and what is medical fact. Then you'll learn to use that knowledge. Don't be an internet ninja with an IFAK you don't know how to use. Be the person who can truly help someone.

Fantastic training

This was a fantastic training. Lots of great information. I enjoyed how in-depth Dr. Shertz went into the studies which gave the information context. His real-world opinion was valuable as well

...Content developed with a lot of thought and investment representing decades of real-world experience.

I've undertaken a range of training in medical first response, including a four-day course in Wilderness First Aid and a basic TECC course. I've also participated in a global conference webinar series and subscribe to a number of different podcasts, webinars, and other resources on TCCC and TECC. Out of the dozens of instruction I've received from special operations medics, medical personnel and physicians I have not received a more comprehensive, evidence-based course covering the full range of TCCC/TECC guidelines. Its no-nonsense approach to showing what works and what doesn't will no doubt save lives.

The content was obviously developed with a lot of thought and investment representing decades of real-world experience. Anyone from a trauma physician, to an EMS paramedic or special operations medic, security operator or remote medic would benefit greatly from the course.

The detail, stress inoculation and real-world applicability gave me confidence that I can handle situations

Most of my life I lived in a safe bubble. I practiced martial arts and self-defence but never had the opportunity to learn any medicine for TECC/TCCC environments. I moved to Portland right before the Pandemic and quickly learned that anything could happen, anywhere, at anytime, and if I wasn't prepared I would totally be a liability.

I took TC2 and I'm working my way through K9 TC2 and CRBN. The detail, stress inoculation and real-world applicability gave me confidence that I can handle situations much more intense than I ever thought. Dr. Shertz taught it in such a straightforward way that my curiosity is taking me towards an R-EMT program in the near future to be more involved in TECC. It was insanely informative, honestly fun, and entertaining. I now trust the skills I've learned can safe my life, as well as my friends and family. I know that the images and stories I've seen will prepare me for situations that others would freeze in. The whole Crisis Medicine team went above and beyond in helping me learn and feel a part of the community. Looking forward to more training in the future.

I highly recommend this online course to any physician considering tactical medicine.

Recently I joined a SWAT Team as the team physician, after being a board-certified emergency physician for over 10 years with ATLS training I thought I was ready for the team. After taking the complete course I realized how much I did not know about Tactical Medicine.

After hours and hours covering relevant topics backed up by real-world experience and research studies, I feel much more confident that I can contribute to my SWAT team in a medical capacity. Mike gave solid advice of what works and what doesn't work, I felt he spoke my language as a physician and was very to-the-point. His experience as a Special Teams Medic and a current Emergency Physician made him the perfect instructor for this topic.

Outstanding quality of website and Dr Shertz was terrific!

I was looking for a good skills refresher and this fit great! Outstanding quality of the website and Dr. Shertz was terrific! I would like to have worked with him in the ED!

An outstanding course taught by a top-tier instructor.

Spent the last three days attending Crisis Medicine’s Advanced Tactical Casualty Care course. In a few words, an outstanding course taught by a top-tier instructor. By the third day, participants were repeatedly handling arterial hemorrhaging from realistic gunshot wounds, penetrating chest and wounds, even amputations, and eviscerations in multiple stress based scenarios with LOTS of training blood and drama-inducing injury props, all under the watchful eyes of very highly experienced special operations medics and chief instructor Dr. Mike Shertz.

As I started the Course already started to amaze me, with detailed Classes and backed up by proof and in-depth research

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoyed Complete TC2 and gained a lot of extra knowledge

I am a Private security contractor and did some Medical courses before, 1 as a requirement (FPOSi), and the other as an extra (TTLS). I saw Crisis Medicine on Facebook, read up on them, and gathered some information. I enrolled in the TC2 Complete Online Course, as I felt I could gain some extra knowledge. As I started the Course already started to amaze me, with detailed Classes and backed up by in Combat Proof and in-depth research. Reasons were provided as to his opinions on some equipment which was really an eye-opener. Overall, I really enjoyed it and gained a lot of extra knowledge, Thanks for the great presentation and classes.

Highly researched, packed with examples, and delivered with top-notch production quality…

Tactical Casualty Care is the holy grail in crisis first aid training. Mike Shertz expertly distills his decades of experience as a Special Forces Medic and as an Emergency Room Physician into a powerful fact-filled training that leaves you confident knowing what to do in a crisis first aid event. Mike cuts through urban legends and misinformation and shows, through research and real-life situations, what works and what doesn’t.

Mike has seen it, done it, and knows how to share it in a powerful presentation style that sticks. Everyone can benefit from this important information. Highly researched, packed with examples, and delivered with top-notch production quality, this online course will give you skills that can mean the difference between life and death for someone you love or anyone you may encounter who needs crisis first aid

I can't wait to learn more with CM

Took the 10-hour (in-person) TC2 class at Insights last summer. I can't wait to go back to learn more with CM.

One of the BEST classes out there

The Complete TC2 is one of the best TCCC classes out there--great depth of information, expertly presented, and thoroughly engaging from start to finish. Thank you to Dr. Shertz and Laurie for making this content available and for all your help.

… More in-depth training than the “Stop The Bleed

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

TC2 online is a great class! I wanted more in-depth training than the "Stop The Bleed" class offered at my local hospital. The Tactical Casualty Care videos, lectures, and scenarios were all excellent. TC2 gave me the information and spent the time on the material to really learn it. I feel confident that I know how to help someone in an emergency. I consider this course a worthy investment for my family, my friends, my co-workers, and the public. Thank you Dr. Shertz.

I feel much more prepared after this course (on-line TC2).

I feel much more prepared after this course (on-line TC2). I am a South African Police officer, am certified in First Aid, and also did the Control The Bleed course (the same one you have in the US) recently.

This TC2 course really taught me a lot. I like the style in which Mike presents it and I value his opinions. The course stimulated me to think about certain concepts and I will surely carry this knowledge with wherever I go.

outstanding job of making the material clear and concise

Considering the complexity of the subject, Dr. Shertz does an outstanding job of making the material clear and concise. He has a passion for evidence-based care, and is able to speak with obvious experience and authority on trauma care. I enjoyed the course and will encourage others to take the TC2 course as well.

I recently attended the Tactical Casualty Care Course held in Brisbane, Australia. Not only is Mike a great guy with a wealth of knowledge, but he's an excellent instructor with the experience to back up his skills and knowledge. Having served as a medic in an airborne unit, as well as service in policing and as a security contractor in hostile environments, the TC2 run by Crisis Medicine was current, relevant and a good mix of theory and practical skills. An outstanding course, and one that I'd recommend to everyone, no matter if you are a first-time student, or if you are a surgeon, you WILL learn.

A graduate level education program in TCCC

I consider this a graduate level education program in TCCC. Having spent 15 months deployed to Iraq, I actually learned that some of my favorite gear are inferior to other pieces of equipment. Dr. Shertz provided me with the data and training to be more effective. It’s literally advice that makes people more effective in providing combat and tactical care. I’ve never seen anything like it.

This course is amazing for an online course.

No death by power point here. I definitely felt as if I was in the classroom the entire time. Hands down best online course for any subject matter I have taken.

A fantastic way to learn life-saving skills

I have been in my fair share of medical classes but this was my first ever online course. That being said this course is a fantastic way to learn life-saving skills. Just don't forget, perfect practice makes perfect so keep your skills sharp!

Dr. Shertz is the perfect balance of huge doctor brain, dark humor, and 18-D to keep me learning, interested, and engaged. I certainly giggled more than a few times. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to be an asset to society, team, and family.

The support I got was great. At one point I clicked a button in the course that I didn't mean to but the support I got was really solid, solved the issue and super friendly.

Awesome Course!

I truly appreciate the directness and honesty of the information presented. I was looking to expand my TCCC knowledge & techniques. I was looking for direct, honest, no bullshit information. Makes my CLS training look like a joke, to be honest.
