🚑 Tactical Austere Medical Practitioner (TAM-P) Austere Course with TCCC-CMC 🚑
May 3–7, 2026 | Wheatfield, Indiana

High-threat and austere environments demand medical providers who can make rapid decisions, operate with limited resources, and deliver immediate point-of-injury trauma care under extreme conditions. The Tactical Austere Medical Practitioner (TAM-P) Austere Course with Tactical Combat Casualty Care – Combat Medic/Corpsman (TCCC-CMC) prepares responders to operate effectively when conventional EMS systems are delayed, limited, or unavailable.

This intensive 5-day hybrid training program combines evidence-based tactical medicine with hands-on skill development and operational scenarios designed to replicate the realities of modern tactical and austere environments. Participants will train in hemorrhage control, airway management, tension pneumothorax treatment, tactical triage, casualty collection point operations, and the integration of medical care within high-risk operations.

The course is CAPCE Certified and provides 119 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) through the combined TAM-P Austere Course, IBSC TP-C / TR-C Review, and TCCC-CMC certification.

This training is designed for paramedics, EMTs, firefighters, law enforcement officers, military medical personnel, and tactical responders who operate in high-threat environments and want to advance their operational medical capability.
