  MORE ABOUT THE TRAINING COURSE

Combat Medic Training is aimed at military or police officers who want to be able to provide more care than the basic level. Participants are taught a number of additional (lifesaving) skills to increase the deployability and/or chances of survival of a sick person or casualty.

A Combat Medic has the knowledge and skills to take care of a sick person or casualty for a few days. During this training, participants learn a number of risky and reserved measures. In the civilian healthcare system, these measures are reserved for (para)medically trained personnel and are laid down in the Individual Healthcare Professionals Act (Wet BIG). In exceptional situations, the Combat Medic may perform these measures during operational deployment if a number of specific conditions are met.

This training course follows on from the first level Combat Life Saver, although this is not required prior to participation in the Combat Medic Training.
