“Medicine X – EDC”: 2 day, $400
After the huge success of our regular “Medicine X” course and the continued request from our students; we have created the next evolution of civilian tactical medical training… “Medicine X – EDC (Every Day Carry)”!
This two-day course was developed for those that wanted to learn how to identify and treat life-threatening injuries in a gunfight; but from a civilian concealed carry perspective. If you’ve taken “Medicine X” before you’ve learned how to work from your chest rig, plate carrier, body armor, etc. Well, what about when you’re not wearing all that kit? How do you carry the contents of an IFAK without the pouch? How do we “run & gun” while in jeans and a T-shirt?
That is exactly what you’ll learn in this class. We’ll show students the different options in wearing and using your medical kit as part of your “every day carry” (EDC) gear. No matter if you are a concealed handgun license holder, an undercover LEO, or even working on a low-profile detail; this course was created just with you in mind. That being said, we expect you to train as you’d fight and fight as you’ve trained… i.e. wear what you normally would wear on a day to day basis. HENCE THE COURSE NAME, “EVERY DAY CARRY”! All students must conceal their firearm and firearm accessories at all times.
Students will learn through lectures, plenty of hands-on skills practice, and multiple live-fire scenarios throughout the course.
