Out of all the instruction I've received from dozens of special operations medics, pre-hospital medical personnel and physicians I've not received a more comprehensive, evidence-based course covering the full spectrum of TCCC/TECC guidelines. Its no-nonsense approach to showing what works and what doesn't (and the research / studies to back that up) will no doubt save lives. The content was obviously developed with a lot of thought and investment representing decades of real-world experience and is presented professionally with excellent skills station demonstrations. Anyone from a trauma physician, to an EMS paramedic or special operations medic, private security operator or remote medic would benefit greatly from the course.

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 you this course.

I cannot say enough about the course. Dr. Shertz covers everything from A to Z, making this an incredible TCCC refresher for me. I'd say this was 10x more detail oriented than the DoD / NATO TCCC in-person course I took in 2019. I recommend Crisis Medicine online courses to my coworkers as a way for them to get interested in medical information, and a way for them to stay up-to-date on the latest CoTCCC guidelines / recommendations. I will definitely be attending an in-person Crisis Medicine course.

I just completed the Complete TC2 course presented by Dr. Shertz. This course was by far the best online course I have ever participated in. Dr. Shertz's absolute command of the subject matter leads to a very comprehensive educational experience that leads the end user to be able to learn and apply new skill sets as well as confirming existing understanding to a deeper level. The production quality of the lectures, skills and scenarios make the learning process feel much more like it is in a classroom rather than online. The slides, charts and other graphics used are absolutely first class. This online education experience raises the bar for online education.

I live in a war torn country and the tactical care is very applicable to my every day living. Past medical training covered basics and I wanted to delve in depth. It was fantastic. The CM staff were incredibly FAST in responding to my emails and problems I had on my end with slow internet. Laurie was fantastic with ensuring that I was able to access all of the content. As a result of this course, our company will be re-evaluating each medical kit to ensure we are prepared should a crisis arise, and as a family we will be teaching our kids what we have learned. Thank you, CM staff for your excellence in the courses. Michael
