Mike Shertz and his team teach several in-person classes each year. All primary instruction and lectures are designed and presented by Dr. Shertz. He has a few select associate instructors who assist in proctoring hands-on skills stations and scenarios.
Practice makes permanent. You’ll have multiple opportunities to practice your medical skills on different trainers and modalities. Then practice your skills in a real-world scenario based on actual injuries.

This class is top notch. It is by far one of the best, if not the best medical classes I have ever taken. Owner/Instructor Dr. Mike Shertz is not only extremely knowledgeable and experienced in this field but can also effectively explain things in a way that makes sense for real world applications. This isn’t one of those Paramedic/medical classes where you verbalize what you want done and move on. This is a class where you learn to work your problem in a very well orchestrated, real-world scenario, with real role players, and keep working the problem until it’s solved. Crisis Medicine overall sets the standard for real-world medical training. I have done the 5 day Complete TC2 in person class 2 times and each time learned new skills, techniques, and other little nuggets of information.
This was by far the most beneficial course I have taken and what PHTLS should strive to emulate. The amount of information that was based on case studies and cited was eye opening when it came to what works, what doesn’t, and what is preached in the EMS world as gospel but is unfounded.
