Advanced Trauma Care (ATC)

Advanced Trauma Care (ATC) is a four (4 hour) emergency medical course that is designed to prepare civilians to respond during life threatening traumatic incidents involving major extremity hemorrhage, penetrating injuries and injuries involving machinery. The training is based on Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) guidelines and is presented by experienced first responders and reality-based training techniques. 

Our focus is to enable civilians to “bridge-the-gap” between the occurrence of a traumatic 

injury and the arrival of EMS. Trainees do not require any prior medical training to participate. 

ATC training is not like traditional medical training because we address the training in a very 

“hands-on”, reality-based training techniques administered be experienced EMS providers.

Disclaimer: Our active-bleeding training devices are breathtakingly realistic and simulate actual traumatic injuries and major hemorrhage. Trainees should wear clothes that can get dirty, allow movement, and be exposed to training blood. Physical activity is included in the training, including kneeling, lying on the floor, and the manipulation of casualties.
