About IPHMI
The mission of the International Prehospital Medicine Institute to provide the most up-to-date education at an affordable cost to those who provide medical care in the prehospital setting. We can do this as we host and publish our own course material. Since our delivery system is built to be dynamic we can instantaneously make adjustments as new research and protocols dictate, instead of waiting to the “next edition”. For example, at the 2019 SOMSA meeting changes regarding tourniquets were made that affected both TCCC and TECC. Less than a week later these changes have been implemented across all of our courses.
