Nation’s Premier Tactical Physician

By 2014 Dr. Alexander Eastman had been named by a law enforcement publication as "The Nation's Premier Tactical Physician" to recognize his contributions as a trauma medicine, pre-hospital care, & tactical emergency response provider.

Dr. Eastman was an active-duty trauma and acute-care surgeon; however, in addition to providing clinical care within hospitals, Dr. Eastman remained actively involved in supporting emergency medical services (EMS), as well as providing tactical medical support for police and SWAT units. Thus, Dr. Eastman brought together his clinical knowledge base with the real-world experience of being on-scene with first responders who are operating in high-risk environments.

Since early in his career as an EMT/paramedic and having participated in pre-hospital trauma care, Dr. Eastman has developed a vast amount of experience, which would allow him to coordinate the efforts of medical teams, EMS providers, law enforcement agencies, etc., during critical incidents.

The 2014 Recognition of Dr. Alexander Eastman as the "Nation's Premier Tactical Physician" recognizes his continued dedication to bridging clinical trauma care with EMS readiness and public safety operations; it formally acknowledges the unique role Dr. Eastman continues to play in the development of medical preparedness in both hospital and tactical environments.
