// 01 — THE MISSION

EXPERTISE LIVES
BETWEEN THE BOXES.

The SOARescue International Tactical Medicine Competition brings tactical medical providers from around the world together to collaborate and compete in a community of peers — the only international event of its kind.

Built as a training day and a competition day, ITMC gives attendees and competitors the opportunity to increase knowledge, refine their craft, and test their decisions where no protocol fully covers the call.
