Welcome to the Dirt Medicine Podcast, where the blood meets the mud! The purpose of this podcast is to bring medical education to the combat medic no matter where he is on the globe. Specifically I will be addressing new advances in trauma care, tactical combat casualty care updates, USSOCOM Advanced Tactical Practitioner scope of practice and protocols (TMEPs), and other topics of interest to the combat medic, SOCM, 18D, PJ, IDMT, IDC, corpsman, etc. My focus is to educate the guy on the ground with the aid bag so he can provide the best possible care to our nation's finest. Hooyah!

Very informative for Med School Students

Such a neat podcast! Dr. Anderson has such a soothing voice and it’s the perfect break from my workload in school where I actually get to listen to something I find interesting. Way to go, Doc.

Pure Gold

As an instructor in trauma, Wilderness First Responder/WEMT and TEMS, the segment on the lethal triad is pure gold. I have listened to it 10+ times and will continue to use it as a benchmark in our Wilderness First Responder and SAR team’s training.
