I was fortunate enough to take this course after completing TC2, which I thoroughly enjoyed. As a police officer, and current EMS student, I wanted to learn and see more of what I could do to help in the field. My theory on my profession, and my life, is to be as well rounded and educated as possible. This course, with the help of Dr. Shertz, certainly provided me what I was looking for. Honestly, I believe I learned more from Dr. Shertz in his courses, than I did an entire 18 week EMS course for Basic EMT. Not only did he address the basics, but he covered skills that directly translate into the real world in a way that is easy to follow. It's a lot of information, but it's useful information that can help save lives. As a police officer my sole duty is to protect and save lives, this course will hopefully allow me to do that better. After completing both TC2 & CTC2, I would more than recommend them to anyone interested in learning how to save a life in the field, regardless of skill level. It's easy to see Dr. Shertz is a stand up gentleman, aside from his well spoken lectures and sly humor, he cares for the education of others. I certainly hope I can pay it forward some day with the skills I learned from him.

This is an excellent comprehensive course. Even after being a military medic with multiple deployments and 8 years as a remote/austere emergency medicine PA, I learned about new evidence for certain interventions as well as more efficient ways to implement interventions from this course. Dr. Shertz is direct with relevant information and real-world experience. What Dr. Shertz teaches is evidence-based medicine with no financial influence. You learn the science, how/why, and realistic application of medicine in a hostile setting. Highly recommend this course!

I am a new direct commission Army National Guard physician (Field Surgeon, 62B). I have had prior civilian EMT experience and also went to a reserve police academy before going to medical school. Due to COVID-19 all my initial officer/military training has been delayed. Having already been deployed to recent riots in our state, I realized that I sorely needed to become more familiar with Tactical Combat Casualty Care and the scope of practice of my 68Ws (combat medics). Despite my prior training, TCCC is a significantly different paradigm to what I am used to. The Crisis Medicine Complete Tactical Casualty Care course exceeded my expectations. It is comprehensive, up to date with the latest information, and evidence based. I appreciate Dr. Shertz's questioning of dogma and impartial evaluation of medical data and devices. The lectures are engaging and strike the perfect balance between the course material and relevant anecdotes. Despite the long course length, the material is always engaging and I was very impressed by the production values of the videos. You will get information here that I did not get in medical school or my trauma rotations. I look forward to signing up for more courses with Crisis Medicine in the future. Disclosures: I was not compensated for the completion of this review.

I am a practicing emergency physician with an interest in tactical medicine. The complete tactical casualty care course is very comprehensive, while being entertaining at the same time with numerous humorous remarks from Dr. Shetz. It covers everything in the TCCC guideline and much more beyond that. I am especially impressed by the critical appraisals of available evidence and literature by Dr. Shertz. This course has served for me as a very solid introduction and foundation to the basics of tactical medicine.

In the beginning, I was like, who is this guy and what could he teach me? Well, the answer is tons. Although back at the end of 2019, I did receive a level 1 TECC-TCCC lesson (it's a classification used in Canada) where I learned plenty of stuff. But that course didn't go into detail on wound packing, as time didn't allow for it, because the TCCC-TECC program was part of a law enforcement training program. We didn't go into detail on chest injuries. We didn't get into details on oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airways, those who knew about pneumothorax and asherman chest seals knew about them, totally untalked about. I learned how to make an IFAK, usable for massive hemorrhage, but not *so much* for the other MARCH mnemonic remaining letters, short for hypothermia prevention, nothing about eyes and evisceration. This course taught those missing skills. Thank you Doctor Shertz for teaching me a lot of cool stuff, for example, improvised tourniquets, improvised pelvic binders, improvisation in general, that new pantleg tourniquet is my favourite. Thanks for giving me ideas on what to put inside a trauma kit, and what to be aware of in public access kits, distant elbow bump. Thank you Laurie for being a nice customer support, distant elbow bump, and co-directing the course. All in all, this is a magnificent course really, Don't let the price discourage you, it's worth every dime, you won't be disappointed, and that's not even marketing or sponsor. * So much is relative.
