COMBAT CASUALTY CARE COURSE (C4)
C4 is a basic 8-day tri-service continuing medical education program designed to enhance the operational medical readiness skills of physicians, nurses, physician assistants, dentists, and other specialty healthcare providers intended for initial entry medical professionals with minimal field exposure. C4 prepares junior tri-service medical officers with the knowledge critical in conducting Level I & II healthcare operations in an austere, combat environment. C4 provides training in leadership skills, field medical knowledge and the practical information needed for direct medical support of tactical units under combat conditions. The course includes 3 days of professional programs at the Defense Medical Readiness Training Institute, Fort Sam Houston and five-days of intensive field training at Camp Bullis, Texas.
Students attending C4 have the opportunity to receive certification in Advanced Trauma Life Support® (physicians and oral surgeons; dentists, physician assistants,and nurse practitioners may attend as auditors), the Trauma Nursing Core Course (nurses) and Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (other healthcare providers). Participants are awarded continuing education/credentials upon successful completion of these courses.
At the conclusion of the professional programs, the course moves to the field as students rotate through various training stations in an operational environment. Areas of instruction are varied and complex, ranging from bandaging and splinting to Level 1 & Level 2 care in the Tactical Simulator for Military Medicine (Tac-SiMM). Students encounter scenarios simulating combat environments where they must perform the duties of their respective career-field positions as well as the duties of first responders.

EMERGENCY WAR SURGERY COURSE |
| The Emergency War Surgery Course (EWSC), formerly known as the Trauma Refresher Course For Surgeons (TRCS), establishes combat trauma training competencies and coordinates training to develop and sustain DoD trauma surgeons whether located in an operational environment, military MTF or at a Level I trauma treatment facility.
Intended for general and orthopedic surgeons, the course was developed in response to 1991 Gulf War reports that surgeons and other healthcare providers lacked sufficient training and experience in trauma surgery. To remedy this, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs designated proficiency in combat surgery training as an “essential mission.” The Combat Trauma Surgical Committee (CTSC) was created in 1996 to meet this mission and to coordinate training efforts to develop and sustain DoD trauma care providers.
The EWSC is a standardized, measurable and reproducible training program that will give surgeons and other health providers exposure to critical life saving skills necessary to sustain the force, fight and win in the 21st century.

Military Medical Humanitarian Assistance Course
 
|
The Military Medical Humanitarian Assistance Course (MMHAC) is a two-day interactive course designed to train U.S. military health care providers to deliver optimal medical care to civilian populations, primarily children that comprise the group most at-risk of death, in the aftermath of humanitarian emergencies.
The goal of this course is to familiarize clinicians with the unique aspects of humanitarian missions, so that they are best prepared to actively participate and lead future missions. Though the health issues may be predictable, the paradigm presents issues that rapidly progress. Resources are typically more limited than in other operations, complicating immediate intervention.
The course emphasizes practical skills and techniques, not often addressed in the curriculum of the American medical education system that will be useful to the provider who is challenged to provide the best possible medical care in an austere environment.
During the training, the didactic lectures are combined with scenario exercises and case management discussions to reinforce the key concepts. The course culminates with several hours spent in skill stations, in which participants will be challenged to manage clinical cases with the logistical and philosophical challenges of real world settings.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to recognize the major causes of mortality among at-risk populations during complex humanitarian emergencies and other post-disaster settings, and demonstrate prevention and treatment strategies.
* DMRTI only sponsors MMHAC courses listed in the "Course Dates" link (at the sub menu above). CDHAM offers more MMHAC courses throughout the year. For more information on these other MMHAC courses, visit the CDHAM website by clicking here or call 301-295-9779 or DSN 295-0780.

PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT (PHEM) COURSE |
Background
In May 2003, the Deputy Secretary of Defense signed out Department of Defense Directive (DoDD) 6200.3, Emergency Health Powers on Military Installations. This DoDD created the position of the Public Health Emergency Officer (PHEO).
In March 2010, the Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness signed out Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 6200.03, Public Health Emergency Management within the Department of Defense (DoD). This DoDI replaced DoDD 6200.03 and clarified the roles of the responsibilities of PHEOs and created the position of Military Treatment Facility (MTF) Emergency Managers (MEM).
PHEM Training Program
The PHEM Training Program will provide PHEOs and MEMs with the knowledge and skills they need to ensure that the DoD is ready to respond to public health emergencies and assist civilian and host nation authorities when called upon. This standardized, joint offered will ensure that PHEOs and MEMs can operate in a variety of environment including other Service’s installation and facilities, an issue of increasing concern due to Joint Basing Initiatives.
Upon completion of the training, personnel should have the knowledge and/or training to enable them to perform critical tasks needed to meet real-world requirements.
The PHEM Training Program consists of pre-requisite training, a five-day in-residence course, and a continuing education program that includes several courses currently offered by DMRTI as well as Service and Combatant Command continuing education opportunities.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COURSES
|
Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-5 requires all Federal Departments and Agencies to adopt National Incident Management System (NIMS) for domestic incident management. NIMS and the National Response Framework (NRF) establish an all-discipline, all-hazards approach to the management of domestic incidents.
On 29 November 2005, the Deputy Secretary of Defense signed a memo, Implementation of the National Response Framework and National Response Plan, which requires the Department of Defense (DOD) to fully implement the NIMS requirements. This includes the training requirements which based on the individual needs according to his or her level of responsibility during a multijurisdictional, multiagency, multidiscipline incident. Each of Services has assigned the level of training that is required for assigned personnel.
The Emergency Management Institute (EMI), located at the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, MD, offers a broad range of NIMS-related training, on-line and in-resident. For further information on EMI, go to http://training.fema.gov/EMI.

Military Medical Humanitarian Assistance Course
 |
Military Medical Humanitarian Assistance Course (MMHAC) is a two-day interactive course offered by DMRTI and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS). It is designed to train U.S. military healthcare providers to deliver optimal medical care to civilian populations, primarily women and children, in the aftermath of humanitarian emergencies. This course addresses the need to prepare medical officers with the necessary skills, knowledge, and confidence to participate in such missions.
Given the military’s increasing involvement in Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW), the focus of this course is centered on familiarizing clinicians with the unique aspects of humanitarian missions. Though the health issues are often predictable, the paradigm presents issues that rapidly progress to the severest degree. Resources are typically more limited than in other operations, complicating any attempt of immediate intervention.
MMHAC emphasizes practical skills and techniques not often addressed in the curriculum of American medical education. These skills and techniques will be useful to the provider who is challenged to provide the best possible medical care in an austere environment.
During the training, the didactic lectures are combined with scenario exercises and case management discussions to reinforce the key concepts. The MMHAC course culminates with several hours spent in skill stations where participants will be challenged to manage clinical cases with the logistical and philosophical challenges of real world settings.
The faculty is committed to the quality and credibility of this educational experience. Thus, all clinical instructors have not only mastered the clinical material, but have had personal experience practicing medicine in an austere health environment. All of the clinical cases are derived from real experiences in operational medicine.
* DMRTI only sponsors MMHAC courses listed in the "Course Dates" link (at the sub menu above). USUHS Department of Pediatrics offers more MMHAC courses throughout the year. For more information on these other MMHAC courses, visit the USUHS Department of Pediatrics website by clicking here or contact USUHS at 301-295-3365; DSN 295-3365.

PHTLS is a 2 or 2 ½-day course sponsored by the American College of Surgeons © and the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians. PHTLS is conducted in conjunction with the Combat Casualty Care Course (C-4) and during exportable training sessions.
DMRTI supports a program that sets up a unit as a PHTLS Training Site, allowing unit personnel to sustain readiness training without dependence on DMRTI returning to the unit. The target population is tri-service medical personnel in active duty or reserve status.
The purpose of the PHTLS course is to provide the student with the underlying beliefs that are the foundation of the program - that definitive care cannot be provided for the critically injured trauma patient in the field. The PHTLS program attempts to increase each participant's understanding and skills in pre-hospital trauma management. This increased understanding of kinematics, pathophysiology, systemic impact, and intervention techniques will result in improving the assessment and treatment of the multi-system trauma patient and offer a perspective into the patient's individual needs. The PHTLS program enhances the philosophy that care of the multi-system trauma patient is unique and requires specific needs that may exceed traditional modalities. Therefore, the PHTLS program stresses the need for Rapid and Accurate Assessment Identification of Shock, Hypoxemia Initiation of Intervention Techniques, and Rapid and Safe Transportation |

COMBAT CASUALTY CARE COURSE (C4)
C4 is a basic 8-day tri-service continuing medical education program designed to enhance the operational medical readiness skills of physicians, nurses, physician assistants, dentists, and other specialty healthcare providers intended for initial entry medical professionals with minimal field exposure. C4 prepares junior tri-service medical officers with the knowledge critical in conducting Level I & II healthcare operations in an austere, combat environment. C4 provides training in leadership skills, field medical knowledge and the practical information needed for direct medical support of tactical units under combat conditions. The course includes 3 days of professional programs at the Defense Medical Readiness Training Institute, Fort Sam Houston and five-days of intensive field training at Camp Bullis, Texas.
Students attending C4 have the opportunity to receive certification in Advanced Trauma Life Support® (physicians and oral surgeons; dentists, physician assistants,and nurse practitioners may attend as auditors), the Trauma Nursing Core Course (nurses) and Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (other healthcare providers). Participants are awarded continuing education/credentials upon successful completion of these courses.
At the conclusion of the professional programs, the course moves to the field as students rotate through various training stations in an operational environment. Areas of instruction are varied and complex, ranging from bandaging and splinting to Level 1 & Level 2 care in the Tactical Simulator for Military Medicine (Tac-SiMM). Students encounter scenarios simulating combat environments where they must perform the duties of their respective career-field positions as well as the duties of first responders. They also have exposure to various real-world scenarios, as well as a myriad of medical readiness topics taught through didactic lectures.
All courses are located in San Antonio

EMERGENCY WAR SURGERY COURSE |
| The Emergency War Surgery Course (EWSC), formerly known as the Trauma Refresher Course For Surgeons (TRCS), establishes combat trauma training competencies and coordinates training to develop and sustain DoD trauma surgeons whether located in an operational environment, military MTF or at a Level I trauma treatment facility.
Intended for general and orthopedic surgeons, the course was developed in response to 1991 Gulf War reports that surgeons and other healthcare providers lacked sufficient training and experience in trauma surgery. To remedy this, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs designated proficiency in combat surgery training as an “essential mission.” The Combat Trauma Surgical Committee (CTSC) was created in 1996 to meet this mission and to coordinate training efforts to develop and sustain DoD trauma care providers.
The EWSC is a standardized, measurable and reproducible training program that will give surgeons and other health providers exposure to critical life saving skills necessary to sustain the force, fight and win in the 21st century.

Military Medical Humanitarian Assistance Course
|
Military Medical Humanitarian Assistance Course (MMHAC) is a two-day interactive course offered by DMRTI and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS). It is designed to train U.S. military healthcare providers to deliver optimal medical care to civilian populations, primarily women and children, in the aftermath of humanitarian emergencies. This course addresses the need to prepare medical officers with the necessary skills, knowledge, and confidence to participate in such missions.
Given the military’s increasing involvement in Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW), the focus of this course is centered on familiarizing clinicians with the unique aspects of humanitarian missions. Though the health issues are often predictable, the paradigm presents issues that rapidly progress to the severest degree. Resources are typically more limited than in other operations, complicating any attempt of immediate intervention.
MMHAC emphasizes practical skills and techniques not often addressed in the curriculum of American medical education. These skills and techniques will be useful to the provider who is challenged to provide the best possible medical care in an austere environment.
During the training, the didactic lectures are combined with scenario exercises and case management discussions to reinforce the key concepts. The MMHAC course culminates with several hours spent in skill stations where participants will be challenged to manage clinical cases with the logistical and philosophical challenges of real world settings.
The faculty is committed to the quality and credibility of this educational experience. Thus, all clinical instructors have not only mastered the clinical material, but have had personal experience practicing medicine in an austere health environment. All of the clinical cases are derived from real experiences in operational medicine.
* DMRTI only sponsors MMHAC courses listed in the "Course Dates" link (at the sub menu above). USUHS Department of Pediatrics offers more MMHAC courses throughout the year. For more information on these other MMHAC courses, visit the USUHS Department of Pediatrics website by clicking here or contact USUHS at 301-295-3365; DSN 295-3365.
MMHAC is open to Department of Defense medical providers (O1-O6), and select senior Non-Commissioned Officers (on a space-available basis).

COMBAT CASUALTY CARE COURSE (C4)
C4 is a basic 8-day tri-service continuing medical education program designed to enhance the operational medical readiness skills of physicians, nurses, physician assistants, dentists, and other specialty healthcare providers intended for initial entry medical professionals with minimal field exposure. C4 prepares junior tri-service medical officers with the knowledge critical in conducting Level I & II healthcare operations in an austere, combat environment. C4 provides training in leadership skills, field medical knowledge and the practical information needed for direct medical support of tactical units under combat conditions. The course includes 3 days of professional programs at the Defense Medical Readiness Training Institute, Fort Sam Houston and five-days of intensive field training at Camp Bullis, Texas.
Students attending C4 have the opportunity to receive certification in Advanced Trauma Life Support® (physicians and oral surgeons; dentists, physician assistants,and nurse practitioners may attend as auditors), the Trauma Nursing Core Course (nurses) and Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (other healthcare providers). Participants are awarded continuing education/credentials upon successful completion of these courses.
At the conclusion of the professional programs, the course moves to the field as students rotate through various training stations in an operational environment. Areas of instruction are varied and complex, ranging from bandaging and splinting to Level 1 & Level 2 care in the Tactical Simulator for Military Medicine (Tac-SiMM). Students encounter scenarios simulating combat environments where they must perform the duties of their respective career-field positions as well as the duties of first responders. They also have exposure to various real-world scenarios, as well as a myriad of medical readiness topics taught through didactic lectures.
All courses are located in San Antonio

EMERGENCY WAR SURGERY COURSE |
| The Emergency War Surgery Course (EWSC), formerly known as the Trauma Refresher Course For Surgeons (TRCS), establishes combat trauma training competencies and coordinates training to develop and sustain DoD trauma surgeons whether located in an operational environment, military MTF or at a Level I trauma treatment facility.
Intended for general and orthopedic surgeons, the course was developed in response to 1991 Gulf War reports that surgeons and other healthcare providers lacked sufficient training and experience in trauma surgery. To remedy this, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs designated proficiency in combat surgery training as an “essential mission.” The Combat Trauma Surgical Committee (CTSC) was created in 1996 to meet this mission and to coordinate training efforts to develop and sustain DoD trauma care providers.
The EWSC is a standardized, measurable and reproducible training program that will give surgeons and other health providers exposure to critical life saving skills necessary to sustain the force, fight and win in the 21st century.

Military Medical Humanitarian Assistance Course
|
Military Medical Humanitarian Assistance Course (MMHAC) is a two-day interactive course offered by DMRTI and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS). It is designed to train U.S. military healthcare providers to deliver optimal medical care to civilian populations, primarily women and children, in the aftermath of humanitarian emergencies. This course addresses the need to prepare medical officers with the necessary skills, knowledge, and confidence to participate in such missions.
Given the military’s increasing involvement in Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW), the focus of this course is centered on familiarizing clinicians with the unique aspects of humanitarian missions. Though the health issues are often predictable, the paradigm presents issues that rapidly progress to the severest degree. Resources are typically more limited than in other operations, complicating any attempt of immediate intervention.
MMHAC emphasizes practical skills and techniques not often addressed in the curriculum of American medical education. These skills and techniques will be useful to the provider who is challenged to provide the best possible medical care in an austere environment.
During the training, the didactic lectures are combined with scenario exercises and case management discussions to reinforce the key concepts. The MMHAC course culminates with several hours spent in skill stations where participants will be challenged to manage clinical cases with the logistical and philosophical challenges of real world settings.
The faculty is committed to the quality and credibility of this educational experience. Thus, all clinical instructors have not only mastered the clinical material, but have had personal experience practicing medicine in an austere health environment. All of the clinical cases are derived from real experiences in operational medicine.
* DMRTI only sponsors MMHAC courses listed in the "Course Dates" link (at the sub menu above). USUHS Department of Pediatrics offers more MMHAC courses throughout the year. For more information on these other MMHAC courses, visit the USUHS Department of Pediatrics website by clicking here or contact USUHS at 301-295-3365; DSN 295-3365.
MMHAC is open to Department of Defense medical providers (O1-O6), and select senior Non-Commissioned Officers (on a space-available basis).

Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support |
PHTLS is a 2 or 2 ½-day course sponsored by the American College of Surgeons © and the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians. PHTLS is conducted in conjunction with the Combat Casualty Care Course (C-4) and during exportable training sessions.
DMRTI supports a program that sets up a unit as a PHTLS Training Site, allowing unit personnel to sustain readiness training without dependence on DMRTI returning to the unit. The target population is tri-service medical personnel in active duty or reserve status.
The purpose of the PHTLS course is to provide the student with the underlying beliefs that are the foundation of the program - that definitive care cannot be provided for the critically injured trauma patient in the field. The PHTLS program attempts to increase each participant's understanding and skills in pre-hospital trauma management. This increased understanding of kinematics, pathophysiology, systemic impact, and intervention techniques will result in improving the assessment and treatment of the multi-system trauma patient and offer a perspective into the patient's individual needs. The PHTLS program enhances the philosophy that care of the multi-system trauma patient is unique and requires specific needs that may exceed traditional modalities. Therefore, the PHTLS program stresses the need for Rapid and Accurate Assessment Identification of Shock, Hypoxemia Initiation of Intervention Techniques, and Rapid and Safe Transportation |
