IPHMI & MissionCIT Launch CCCD Course

MissionCIT Launches IPHMI's Critical Casualty Care for Civil Disturbances Course

In today’s world, EMS providers increasingly find themselves responding to civil disturbance events. Whether it’s a peaceful protest that escalates or a large gathering that turns chaotic, being prepared to provide medical care in these unique environments is crucial. That’s why MissionCIT and IPHMI are proud to introduce our newest online course: Casualty Care for Civil Disturbance (CCCD), developed from TECC concepts.

Beyond the Basics: What Makes CCCD Different?

This isn’t your standard trauma course. Casualty Care for Civil Disturbance focuses specifically on the medical challenges you’ll face during civil disturbances. It builds upon and expands the casualty care concepts originally promulgated in the TCCC and TECC courses. From treating burns caused by fireworks to managing injuries from improvised weapons, this course prepares you for the unexpected. And here’s the key difference: while other courses might dive into crowd control tactics, CCCD stays in our lane – focusing purely on what EMS providers need to know to provide effective medical care in these challenging environments.

What You'll Learn

This course is meticulously structured into ten practical lessons designed to tackle the very real challenges you’ll encounter. We’ll cover planning for the unexpected, because civil disturbances rarely follow a script, and dive into recognizing and treating injuries from unconventional weapons, including lasers. You’ll also learn how to manage burns and exposure to gas or smoke, as well as gain crucial skills in essential trauma care, from fractures to hemorrhage control. Finally, we’ll address critical aspects that are often overlooked, such as responder wellness and the emotional impact these situations can have.

Who Should Take This Course?

If you’re an EMS provider, we specifically designed this course for you. Whether you work in an urban environment where civil disturbances frequently occur, or you simply want to prepare for the unexpected in your own community, the CCCD course provides you with the specific knowledge you need to care for yourself and your partners, treat common injuries you might see at civil disturbance events, and remain mentally and physically prepared for challenging situations.

Why Choose CCCD?

This course offers focused content, with no law enforcement tactics from TECC, concentrating purely on medical response training. You’ll learn through real-world applications from experienced instructors who understand the unique challenges of providing care during civil disturbances. We take a comprehensive approach, covering the full spectrum of care from physical injuries to emotional wellness. The course is delivered in a convenient online format, allowing you to learn at your own pace with MissionCIT’s interactive platform. Plus, you’ll earn 1.0 CEU credits while gaining valuable knowledge.
