About

The Coalition for Tactical Medicine (CTM) is the only non-profit of its kind. We work to meet a growing need for more people to be equipped with lifesaving tactical and medical capabilities. Special abilities that will be needed during life-threatening situations like a terrorist attack or natural disaster.

CTM will raise scholarship funds to give to qualified medical and non-medical personnel for tactical medical education and training including TCCC* (Tactical Casualty Combat Care). We will also spread vital, lifesaving information via the CTM website and blog (MEDMASH).

Local police, EMS, SWAT teams, and soldiers will be able to apply for scholarship funding. In addition, doctors, nurses, school principals and other non-traditional personnel who would also benefit from having tactical medical skills may be eligible.

* CTM promotes the adoption by the civilian sector of TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care), lifesaving techniques initially utilized by US Special Operations Forces and now adopted for use by the US Department of Defense. The COALITION will support this transition by providing funds to qualified civilian personnel who want training in these methods.  This new standard of pre-hospital care is now dual endorsed by both the National Association of EMT’s and the American College of Surgeons.
