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.
As a former EMT, Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant, Ranger Medic and graduate of the Special Forces Aidman Course, I found this training to be of the highest quality. It is ideal for the experienced medic looking to advance his skills, while at the same time accessible to the motivated rescuer without an extensive medical background.
...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.
...DOWN-TO-EARTH, NO-NONSENSE AND PREPS YOU FOR REAL-LIFE SCENARIOS...
Very impressive course. The knowledge and information delivered is comprehensive and well researched, covering most agents that have been or will potentially be used in CBRN warfare. The extensive literature and evidence Dr. Shertz has gone through and presented in the course is eye-opening and highly appreciated. The skills and knowledge taught are down-to-earth, no-nonsense and preps you for real-life scenarios. I would recommend this course to everyone who wishes to learn about the management of CBRN victims in a tactical environment.
THE COURSE WAS PHENOMENAL.
The course was phenomenal. One of the best courses I have ever listened to. I'm a medical student that lives in Ukraine and can fairly say that this course helped and will help me much more in the future while my country is in war. Lectures are on point and well explained. Dr. Shertz does an outstanding job with focusing all your attention on the topic and keeps you from sleeping with good humor. I highly recommend it.
...OUTSTANDING AND WELL-SET-OUT MATERIAL
I commend Crisis Medicine on this outstanding and well-set-out material and for making this material available to people like myself, who want to become more educated and prepared in the event of an emergency. Having skills to help and build the confidence to step up and assist rather than watching in the background and not knowing how to make a difference. In this instance to hugely important members of an operational team like K9's. Specifically, we you have the best Dutch Shepherd on the planet, in our humble opinion! Thank you for this! With respect,
Wow! I love the no-BS approach
I have a ~1.5-2h commute in NYC each way through various public transits. With the current political environment, I felt too exposed to threats. I carry a TQ, QuickClot, chest vent, Israeli bandage, gloves, and sheers (wow, my carry gear is completely about to change, thank you!) and felt "confident", but "untrained".I watched a lot of YouTube videos (wow, they are wrong); but, had on my docket to take a 2-day course on trauma wounds taught by former SF. With the virus, the course was canceled. I did a search and found CM, read the reviews, looked at the material listing, and figured this would be worth a shot.
WOW! I am an engineer, a mountaineer, and this material literally speaks to me. I love the "this is the data around IF this works and under what conditions.
