24-7 EMS Online: Tactical EMS (V2)
Product Code: EMS1101
Tactical medics, or tactical emergency medical services (TEMS), are trained responders who provide emergency medical care in tactical situations where traditional EMS providers cannot or should not enter.
2 Tactical medics receive specialized training and play a role in law enforcement operations when civilians, officers, or perpetrators of a crime are injured. In contrast to standard emergency medicine where the patient is the focus of the situation, tactical medicine allows specially trained EMS personnel to provide emergency life-saving care while the tactical situation develops, allowing law enforcement to complete the mission.
Whether the situation is a high-risk search warrant, an active shooter event, a barricade or hostage situation, or a bombing, the TEMS component is vital in today’s war on crime. This program provides general information on the role of the tactical medic, the types of emergency scenes to which a tactical medic responds, and the training and skills preparation specific to the position.

Workplace Stress
Product Code: EMS1116
Workplace stress is an increasing concern for emergency service responders. Stress as a condition has several causes and the extent of the reaction to stress often depends on a person’s disposition and circumstances.
The onset of stress can be subjective; the physiological and psychological impact of stress on the human body is significant. When a person is experiencing acute stress, the body reacts as though a threat to survival exists. Emotions take control and cognitive functions are impaired.
Although the body’s immediate stress responses (like the release of adrenaline) can help a person to deal with the initial real or perceived threat, the effects of unrelieved or chronic stress can result in a serious risk of developing life-threatening diseases.
Both employers and staff who provide emergency services can benefit from learning about the factors that contribute to workplace stress and possible negative implications for job performance and personal health.
