Try this link. Just click the bubble TCCC and hit search, it will show you scheduled courses and in which area
Hmm... they may tend to run them only at national conferences nowadays. Try looking around EMSWorld Expo, or EMS Today, among others, and see if they have TCCC in any of the course schedules. The last one i officially heard of was at EMS EXPO in Las Vegas, late last August sometime.
My best friend back home went to EMT-B school, then joined the ARMY as a 68W. After talking to him for the first time after he was deployed, he told me they put you through the same EMT class, with a few minor tweaks pertaining to Tactical Combat Casualty Care Provider ie. advanced skills (IV...

Has anyone seen or used the Mask and Airway combo called NuMask? I am concerned with suctioning ability and size of the OPA in relation to supporting the tongue. Check it out if you want at NuMask.com, I just wanted to see what more seasoned medics thought of it before placing my own opinions on...
