About

Crisis Medicine delivers high-impact tactical casualty care training for high-risk environments. Based in Oregon, their unique edge is founder and lead instructor Mike Shertz, MD—a rare combination of a practicing emergency physician and a former Army Special Forces medic (18D). This dual expertise means they truly teach both the medicine and the tactics. Their training is grounded in current TECC/TCCC guidelines and Special Operations Forces medicine, focusing on the life-saving MARCH protocol. They offer a range of online, self-paced courses, from essential skills to specialized topics like CBRN, K9 care, and improvised medicine. Designed for everyone from private citizens to tactical professionals, their engaging courses provide a tactically relevant plan to act decisively when seconds count.
