Highest quality

As a former EMT, Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant, Ranger Medic and graduate of the Special Forces Aidman Course, I found this training to be of the highest quality. It is ideal for the experienced medic looking to advance his skills, while at the same time accessible to the motivated rescuer without an extensive medical background.

Extremely useful, well presented, and engaging

This was another great module, completing information not covered in traditional learning classes. I found this to be extremely useful, well presented and the lectures kept you engaged in learning the materials, with an abundant amount of information presented. The information learned is relevant to EMS providers and first Responders and has given me the edge of confidence needed if or when an event like this should arise.

...Information here that surprised and enlightened me

I will start by saying this: I am an Army Medic, 10 years of experience, all with line units. I believe I am a knowledgeable and competent medic, and that is backed by my peers and superiors.

With that said, I learned more in 90 minutes than I have in all my various training and recertification classes combined. There is information here that surprised and enlightened me. After this, I feel more empowered to be a better provider and better instructor to my peers. I've already recommended this class to anyone that will listen to me here, and I look forward to taking more classes.

The course was phenomenal.

The course was phenomenal.
One of the best courses I have ever listened to. I'm a medical student that lives in Ukraine and can fairly say that this course helped and will help me much more in the future while my country is in war. Lectures are on point and well explained. Dr. Shertz does an outstanding job with focusing all your attention on the topic and keeps you from sleeping with good humor. I highly recommend it.

...Down-to-earth, no-nonsense and preps you for real-life scenarios...

Very impressive course. The knowledge and information delivered is comprehensive and well researched, covering most agents that have been or will potentially be used in CBRN warfare. The extensive literature and evidence Dr. Shertz has gone through and presented in the course is eye-opening and highly appreciated. The skills and knowledge taught are down-to-earth, no-nonsense and preps you for real-life scenarios. I would recommend this course to everyone who wishes to learn about the management of CBRN victims in a tactical environment.

Excellent Course

This is an excellent course and should be a must have for every prehospital provider and LEO. This course gives you profound knowledge which exceeds the curriculum of TECC and gives you a complete review of the guidelines.

Dr. Mike Shertz is an excellent teacher, humorous, an outstanding presenter, diverting but enormously profound. One of the best courses I participated. Definitely worth the money and time spent.

...Outstanding and well-set-out material

I commend Crisis Medicine on this outstanding and well-set-out material and for making this material available to people like myself, who want to become more educated and prepared in the event of an emergency. Having skills to help and build the confidence to step up and assist rather than watching in the background and not knowing how to make a difference. In this instance to hugely important members of an operational team like K9's. Specifically, we you have the best Dutch Shepherd on the planet, in our humble opinion!

Thank you for this!
With respect,

...Exactly like training with Doc Shertz in person

I have known Doc Shertz since 2001. In nearly two decades of having received training from him, I have attended numerous courses he’s taught including his five-day/44-hour in-person TCCC course. The training I just received in the on-line Advanced TC2 course is exactly like training with Doc Shertz in person. This includes everything from how he shares various stories to his sense of humor. If one can’t train with him in person, his online training through Crisis Medicine is the next best thing!

Some things I really liked that stood out with the on-line course was the ability to skip around the various modules if needed, as well as being able to see how many minutes each module was ahead of time.

The short quizzes were good too. They offered just enough of an assessment to ensure the student was awake and not just “clicking through,” but not challenging for folks who paid attention through the course material.

Overall, the video and sound production was very well done, including background colors, visuals, etc. This included various camera angles and a good balance between Doc Shertz talking and the PowerPoint presentation he was going over. At no point did it ever feel like a “death by PowerPoint.” The instructional format kept me interested the entire time.

Being in a reserve component of the military, I have completed countless required online training courses. I can honestly say Crisis Medicine's online course was the best I have ever done.

...Depth of his knowledge of treating casualties in the tactical environment is second to none

The ATC2 course came highly recommended to me by a very close friend and Navy SEAL and it did not disappoint. I have an intermediate background in TacMed and was looking for some refresher material to integrate into my team's training but ended up receiving so much more. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy Doc Shertz makes this course to follow as many online courses can be quite stale. The depth of his knowledge of treating casualties in the tactical environment is second to none and his teaching methodologies kept me engaged and very focused. Well done, Sir, well done! I would absolutely take another Crisis Medicine course without hesitation. If you're skeptical about online training through them, don't be. He's the real deal and you will not be disappointed.

I wanted to thank you for the recent TECC class. The class was of superb educational value to me. The material was presented in a very palatable manner; every slide kept my utmost attention. All the literature reviews added credibility to the practical material. At the same time, I appreciated the criticism of many studies. All of the real-life examples were right on spot and helped to highlight the theory. I liked the fact that this is the material that is constantly updated. For example, the i-Gel that was prominently presented in an online TECC just a few years ago was downgraded in this class.

The frequent shifts between lectures and practical exercises were very helpful in retaining the material.

The scenarios day was excellent. I liked how efficiently condensed the exercises were. Even though everything was on the clock, we had plenty of time to do after-action reports. The instructors were very experienced in the material and teaching.

You definitely own every aspect of the material that you present. It absolutely looks like a constantly evolving product of your lifework.

I left the course with a clear roadmap of how I should approach and work up a casualty.

I have no doubt I will do other Crisis-Medicine classes that you offer online, as well as attend TECC in-person class again.
