Location: BVAC Rescue Response Training Center

Take the NAEMT Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) 3rd Edition Provider Course in New York City at the BVAC Rescue Response Training Center in Bayside, Queens. This 16-hour, two-day course provides hands-on, scenario-based tactical medical training for EMTs, AEMTs, paramedics, and other prehospital clinicians who may be called upon to provide lifesaving care during high-threat, complex, and unconventional emergency incidents.

The TECC 3rd Edition prepares prehospital clinicians to respond to and care for patients in civilian tactical environments where ongoing threats, limited resources, difficult access, multiple casualties, or the need for rapid evacuation may require traditional emergency medical procedures to be adapted. Students learn to balance effective patient care with responder safety, operational conditions, casualty movement, and changing threat environments.

The course follows the principles of Direct Threat Care, Indirect Threat Care, and Evacuation Care and incorporates updated evidence-based TECC guidelines, hands-on skill stations, patient simulations, and realistic Active Shooter/Hostile Event (ASHE) scenarios.

What You Will Learn in the NAEMT TECC 3rd Edition Course

Direct Threat Care: Learn how medical priorities change when an immediate threat remains present. Training emphasizes responder safety, rapid threat-based decision-making, lifesaving interventions, and moving casualties toward a safer environment.
Indirect Threat Care: Provide a more complete casualty assessment and treatment once the immediate threat has been reduced or controlled while remaining prepared for changing operational conditions.
Evacuation Care: Learn how casualty care continues during movement and evacuation, including reassessment, treatment priorities, communication, casualty tracking, and preparation for transfer to additional medical resources.
Life-Threatening Hemorrhage Control: Practice rapid bleeding-control techniques including tourniquet application, wound packing, pressure techniques, reassessment of hemorrhage-control interventions, and other methods used to manage severe traumatic bleeding.
Tourniquet Reassessment and Conversion: The TECC 3rd Edition includes a dedicated tourniquet conversion skill station, reinforcing appropriate reassessment and management of previously applied tourniquets as operational and patient-care conditions change.
Rapid Trauma Assessment and Treatment Priorities: Develop a systematic approach to identifying and treating immediately life-threatening traumatic injuries while continually reassessing the casualty as conditions change.
Airway and Respiratory Emergencies: Recognize and manage airway compromise, respiratory distress, and traumatic chest injuries using interventions appropriate to the provider's training, scope of practice, and local protocols.
Chest Trauma Management: Review the assessment and treatment of penetrating and blunt chest trauma and the recognition of life-threatening respiratory complications.
Advanced Thoracic Interventions: The TECC 3rd Edition includes an optional lesson on simple/finger thoracostomy for appropriately trained clinicians operating within their scope of practice and approved medical protocols.
Shock and Circulation: Recognize signs of traumatic shock, prioritize lifesaving interventions, reassess the casualty, and support circulation during time-sensitive emergencies.
Casualty Movement and Extraction: Practice techniques for moving injured patients from dangerous, confined, or difficult environments while balancing casualty care, responder safety, and operational priorities.
Triage in High-Threat Incidents: Apply casualty prioritization and triage principles at the appropriate point in the tactical response. The TECC 3rd Edition places increased emphasis on the real-world timing and application of triage during complex incidents.
Multiple-Casualty Incident Management: Develop skills for managing multiple injured patients when personnel, equipment, transportation, and medical resources may be limited.
Casualty Tracking and Reunification: The TECC 3rd Edition places greater emphasis on casualty tracking and reunification, helping responders maintain accountability as patients move through treatment and evacuation.
Psychological Response to Mass-Casualty Incidents: Learn principles for recognizing and addressing psychological effects on patients, survivors, and responders following violent, traumatic, or mass-casualty incidents.
Clinician Mental Health: The 3rd Edition expands attention to the psychological impact of high-threat and mass-casualty incidents on EMS clinicians and other responders, including awareness of responder mental health and post-incident considerations.
Active Shooter/Hostile Event Scenarios: Apply TECC concepts through realistic ASHE patient-care scenarios incorporated throughout the course to strengthen clinical judgment, communication, teamwork, and tactical medical decision-making.
Hands-On Skills and Patient Simulations: The TECC 3rd Edition uses shorter classroom lessons to provide more time for hands-on skills, practical exercises, patient simulations, and scenario-based application of tactical emergency casualty care principles.
