The Medical Tactical Certificate Training Program also known as Med Tac, is a global bystander care training program that focuses on life saving actions that can be performed by non-medical bystanders for the 8 leading preventable causes of death to children, youth, and adults.[1] In urban areas in the United States, professional first responders arrive at the scene of an emergency after approximately 10 minutes, yet the evidence supported that immediate action within three minutes has an enormous impact on survival and permanent harm.[2][3] Spawned and accelerated after the dramatic increase in active shooter and terrorism events,[4][5][6][7][8] it integrates the American Heart Association Heartsaver CPR/AED Training Program or the American Red Cross equivalent training and the Stop the Bleed Program sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security and American College of Surgeons.[9][10]
Med Tac Program
The program is provided at no cost to schools, membership organizations such as Boy and Girl Scouts and athletic teams, and faith-based organizations. It teaches varied skills that can be used in the first few minutes before professional first responders arrive.[11] These health hazards to children and adults are sudden cardiac arrest, choking and drowning, opioid overdose, anaphylaxis, major trauma and bleeding, common accidents, non-traffic related vehicular accidents, and bullying and workplace violence.[1] Given the Medical Tactical Training Program was the first of its kind to address all of these leading causes of death and harm in a single, integrated program, the founders were awarded the 2018 Pete Conrad Patient Safety Award for their work in life-saving training.[12] The program has been communicated globally by trade publications such as Campus Safety[11] in that trainees and instructors of the program have saved lives by applying the training they received in the program just weeks after initial training.[11]
Med Tac Curriculum
Learners taking the basic program for schools and scout groups receive 3 hours of online training followed by onsite competency training. The onsite includes instruction by AHA certified CPR/AED or American Red Cross Instructors who certify their competencies in CPR and use of an Automated External Defibrillator. The Stop the Bleed certification course is also taught and competencies for severe bleeding control are taught. The online training is free and onsite training is paid by learners to local instructors found through the AHA, American Red Cross, and American College of Surgeons.
Global Scale Model
Med Tac uses a four-element approach to develop global scale. Core curricular elements are continuously updated, online technology is leveraged, and all funding remains local so that communities grow their own training ecosystem.
Bystander Care
The global bystander care training program development focuses on the vital first few lifesaving minutes before professional first responders arrive. The curriculum is continually updated to mirror the latest evidence-based medicine guidelines and developments accepted by national Emergency Medicine and Critical Care organizations. By applying internationally-accepted standards of care, the program is adopted more widely internationally.[11]
Blended Learning
A blended learning approach of online knowledge transfer complimented by onsite skill training and deliberative practice led by local trainers. The online component of the program is free to grade schools, scouting organizations, and faith-based institutions.[13] The participating organizations supply local, qualified instructors who are engaged directly by them.
Immersive Simulation
Simulation techniques using real life scenarios are used to improve reaction during high stress crises. Scenarios include making 911 calls, communicating with first responders, key task assignments, performing CPR and using AEDs, practice caring for severe bleeding, using epinephrine auto-injectors such as EPI Pens, and using opioid reversal agents.[1]
Team of Teams and network of networks
Med Tac uses existing training networks of educators and membership organizations such as schools, scouts, clubs, and faith-based platforms instead of trying to build entirely new networks. Multigenerational teams from local networks can meet the needs of the broad age range of students.[13]
Background
The program was founded in 2015 by Dr. Gregory Botz and William H. Adcox at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Charlie Denham III and Dr. Charles Denham II of TMIT in California when they were developing an active shooter training program for the Texas Medical Center and schools Texas and Orange County California.[11] Med Tac is provided by the Texas Medical Institute of Technology that operates the TMIT National Research Test Bed.
Specialty Programs
The training has been customized to specific environments with different needs, the Med Tac Programs became scalable when adjusted to other organizations and environments. The evidence-based and data driven specialty programs include a Lifeguard – Surf Initiative, SCUBA Divers, Aviation, Law Enforcement and Security, Youth Mentorship KidLeaders program, Healthcare Security Ministry, and Corporate programs.[13]
Recognition and Awards
The Med Tac Team won the 2018 Pete Conrad Global Patient Safety Award for its work in life saving training.[12]
Documentaries and Media
Members of the Med Tac team have produced documentaries globally broadcasted on Discovery Channel including Chasing Zero: Winning the War on Healthcare Harm and Surfing the Healthcare Tsunami: Bring Your Best Board. A third documentary in the series is entitled 3 Minutes and Counting which will tell the Med Tac story and how bystanders who take very basic training can save the lives of others in the first 3 minutes of a medical emergency before professional first responders arrive.
