GTC Tactical Mass Casualty Management Course

This Georgia Trauma Commission-funded Tactical Mass Casualty Management Course is a 16-hour continuing education program developed specifically for Georgia responders.

Through a combination of classroom instruction, hands-on skills training, and realistic, scenario-based training, participants will strengthen their ability to manage active-threat and mass-casualty incidents from the point of injury through evacuation and transport.

Approved for 16 hours of Georgia EMS continuing education.

Registration opens 30 days prior to each course.
