Mercyhealth

Mercyhealth prides itself on providing training programs and courses to members of the fire department, law enforcement, EMS, and other medical personnel, as well as the public. All courses are taught in our 25,000-square-foot Tactical Training Center in Janesville, WI. The Center offers multiple scenarios–classrooms, nightclub, office and emergency department, as well as state-of-the-art simulation labs and well-trained, certified instructors and simulation staff.

This course is designed to train police, fire, rescue personnel and persons interested in the techniques of prehospital emergency care.
