I would love to see this training extended to another day or so, where you could get real hands-on scenarios where there were opportunities to get up and move around, even to simulate the movement or triage of patients on scene. I believe that this would really bring home the application of this training.

What other training is most important to you now that you have completed this course?

Anything that would help me hone these new skills and apply them to my position as SWAT team leader, and eventually commander.
