Protocols and Guidelines - Public Accessible

The following web links are listed below to educate our members and others and provide easy access to a variety of tactical medicine / TEMS protocols and guidelines.

The goal is to allow our section members and any of the public to readily access the publicly-available information on this topic.

If you feel that there are additional resources or web links that TEM Section members would appreciate and learn from, then please contact the ACEP TEM Section Chair with your suggestions.

In addition, if any of these links are not accessible (don't work) as listed, then please contact the ACEP TEM Section Chair with this updated information.

Note that more specific protocols and guidelines are available for TEM Section Members only, accessible in the Members-Only section of this website.
