Field Trauma Treatment & Evacuation Management

Field Trauma Treatment is a 4-day immersive program focused on advanced field trauma and evacuation management. It integrates international trauma standards, including PHTLS, TCCC, and MTLS, with hands-on simulation, RCDP micro debriefing, serious games, and field exercises.

The course addresses the leading causes of preventable death in combat and disaster zones and strengthens clinical decision-making, operational coordination, and leadership under uncertainty. Participants train across clinical, logistical, and command domains to improve judgment and performance in high-stakes environments.
