Crisis Medicine is one of a kind. Mike Shertz is extremely well qualified and brings decades of experience into his instruction. He is passionate about his profession, a complete nerd (thats a compliment) in attention to detail, enthusiastic in his dissemination of knowledge.

Outstanding class. Excellent material and excellent teacher. I learned how to be useful if I should ever come across a penetrating trauma event. Better I know what I can reasonably expect to fix, and where I would be presented with injuries that I could not help. Dr. Shertz has a great sense of humor to soften covering a tough subject.

I took the online TC2 course. I really enjoyed the course! I wanted more in-depth training than the Stop The Bleed class offered at my local hospital. The Tactical Casualty Care videos, lectures, and scenarios were all excellent. This course gave me the knowledge and confidence to help someone in an emergency. I feel this was a worthy investment for my family, friends, co-workers, and the public. Thank you Dr. Shertz.

Excellent course. Mike knows his stuff -- he has seen, treated, and photographed just about every trauma a body can sustain. Clear explanations and demonstrations, honest assessments of gear and techniques, and a straight-up, no-BS approach to saving lives. My last Tactical First Aid training was early 2000s vintage, so TCC was not only a great refresher but a great update -- lots of new material. If for some reason youre on the fence, take this class! Everyone should have this kind of life-saving knowledge.

As a school administrator with student safety as my top priority, I felt compelled to do something to prepare for the worst. Mikes course taught our leadership team crucial skills in a clear, hands-on, rational, and accessible manner. Mikes approach delivers Stress Inoculation for the learners, which I deeply valued. The topics are intense and real. Thinking through scenarios in advance can only serve us better in a real crisis. My team feels prepared, calm, and knowledgeable after spending the time in this course. I strongly believe that this approach to community health is one that any school should pursue. The learned skills are as good for a crisis as they are for a serious playground injury.Thanks much Crisis Medicine and please keep up the good work.Blake Peters, Head of School | German International School of Portland

Dr. Shertz is a great teacher, I learned several new things from the online TC2 course. His experience and unapologetic approach to emergency medicine is outstanding. I also like that he uses statistics and reliable data. Hes quite funny too, in my opinion. Thanks Doc!

Tactical Casualty Care is the holy grail in crisis first aid training. Mike Shertz expertly distills his decades of experience as a Special Forces Medic and as an Emergency Room Physician into a powerful fact-filled training that leaves you knowing what to do in a crisis first aid situation. Mike cuts through urban legends and misinformation and shows, through research and real-life situations, what works and what doesn’t.Mike has seen it, done it, and knows how to share it in a powerful presentation style that sticks. Everyone can benefit from this important information. Highly researched, packed with examples, and delivered with top-notch production quality, this on-line course will give you skills that can mean the difference between life and death for someone you love.

You cant predict what life is going to throw at you, but you can prepare yourself with skills that help keep you alive. Thats exactly what Dr. Shertzs courses give you; skills to help keep you and your loved ones alive in a crisis/trauma. You learn the what, how and the why. Thats something that 40 years as a nurse didnt teach me. Knowledge gained is well worth the time and money investment.

As a former member of a tactical team in the Northwest I was lucky enough to attend Docs training multiple times. He brings decades of skill to his training and passes it on to his students using clear instruction and demonstrations. Im constantly amazed at the depth of his knowledge.Dr. Shertzs immense experience and training has been invaluable to me not only as police officer but also as one of the lead trainers in my agency. Hes had a tremendous impact on our in-house Tactical Emergency Casualty Care training. In fact, it wouldnt exist without his teaching and guidance. We structured all of our training around his material and weve had several documented life-saving incidents in the last few years that probably wouldnt have had the same outcome were it not for his influence. Thank you, Doc.

I retired from 20 years of active duty service in the U.S. Navy in 2002. When I left the Navy over 15 years ago I had been through several of the Navys environmental survival schools and field first aid training but nothing on a TCCC level, as it had not been developed yet.Both myself and my girlfriend enjoy going to the range, SCUBA diving as well as open road cycling. We also do a lot of our own home improvement requiring use of power tools. Now we’re not Spec-Ops “door kickers” but we realize with todays environment and the potential remoteness of our hobbies, the need for more advanced training outside of a Basic Life Saving or the hour long STB course was needed.After a lot of research, I found this (TC2) course. For an educator, for Joe average civilian, or your first line responder this is a great course. I highly recommend it.
