Faculty of Operational Medicine - COROM

Tactical Austere and Prehospital Ultrasound (TAPUS) is built for clinicians operating in austere, remote, and hostile environments where rapid ultrasound assessment can directly support early decision-making.

With a strong practical focus, the course develops usable, field-relevant ultrasound skills for operational care in demanding settings.

We are pleased to announce that CoROM will be hosting the Improvised Medicine Workshop at the Special Operations Medical Association conference in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.

We look forward to contributing to this outstanding event and sharing practical, hands-on training in improvised medicine.

The CoROM Field Guide is a practical resource for medics and healthcare professionals working in remote, austere, and resource-limited environments.

Whether you are in the field, on deployment, offshore, or working far from immediate support, this guide was built with real-world practice in mind.

Digital access is available, and printed copies are limited, so now is a good time to get hold of one.

We are pleased to share that the College of Remote and Offshore Medicine is now an NAEMT Training Center.

This is an important step forward for the college and for the continued delivery of high-quality prehospital and operational medicine education. We look forward to supporting more students and professionals through NAEMT courses in the time ahead.

We have six places left for the PHTLS running 23-24 May. Tuition is €350.

The Austere Primary Course was designed by SOF Medics for SOF Medics. But anyone can take this course and upskill their DNBI. Disease and Non-Battle Injuries cause far more problems on deployment than trauma.
