The International School of Tactical Medicine is a law-enforcement agency based program and offers a 2-week, 80 hour comprehensive tactical medicine curriculum. We uniquely integrate both medical and tactical education, hands on training, scenario based teaching, firearms instruction and personalized attention. To ensure the maximum learning benefit both modules should be taken consecutively.
The two week, 80 hour program covers the core content of tactical medicine. This course complies with and meets the state of California POST/EMSA SWAT operational guidelines and standardized recommendations.
We understand that there are students who wish to attend our two week school but are absolutely unable to take two consecutive weeks out of their work schedule. We allow these students to take only Module A and return during a later semester for Module B. The number of seats reserved for these special circumstances is extremely limited. Please contact the administrative coordinator at (760) 880-4102.

Module B is the second half of the two week program and provides additional intensive training and skills in both tactics and advanced medical care for those serious about their commitment to providing the best medical care possible for their agency and team members.
Tactical Medicine Course Module C
[ click for full course description ]
Module C was developed to add to your tactical medical acumen topics not covered in the Module A and Module B courses. In addition, based on the Module A and B course surveys from the past 16 years, we have included the topics most often requested by students. Module C also satisfies the re-certification process and or CME requirement that may be mandated by your agency. Many skills (both tactical and medical) are perishable and the need for refresher training is necessary for the tactical medical provider to maintain a high level of proficiency. Module C will give you additional training, new skill sets and the distinct advantage to be able to provide the best medical care possible in a host of austere environments.
