About Graduate Certificate in Tactical Medicine, Graduate Certificate - at CQUniversity Australia

Mass casualty and terrorist attacks are on the increase in the current geopolitical climate as Australia grows its presence on the world stage.

In this unique contemporary course, you will learn to plan and implement strategies and develop a range of clinical, critical-thinking, communications and leadership skills essential for the successful management of acute trauma. Highly relevant to members of the Australian Defence Force, police and ambulance services as well as all those involved at the advanced life support of victims of mass casualty and terrorist attacks, this course will equip you with the skills to quickly react and respond to these events.
