You are not going to find that caliber of medical education in a 2 week wanna-B-camp.



You could take all the various courses that are offered to EMT rescue and you would end up with a good basic medical education.

Even the later will take years to accumulate.


You personally need to read and search the fora before you ask questions. This is not a good start.

Find "message to Garcia", understand the underlining complexities in the story, then do 500 push-up and ruck 20 miles..

Move out..

Roger that JJ....Ditto from me There are no short cuts!

I would say "exceeds" the PA training. PA's don't need to practice their craft in hostile environments or at least not until O'care is fully implemented anyway.
