There are six cognitive and nine performance learning objectives for the Massive Hemorrhage Control module.

The cognitive learning objectives are to identify life-threatening hemorrhage (bleeding), identify the importance of early application of limb tourniquets to control life-threatening bleeding, identify anatomical sites for applying direct and indirect pressure to control bleeding, identify risks associated with applying an improvised limb tourniquet, and identify the principles of wound packing. Additionally, we will review the evidence supporting the aggressive use of tourniquets and hemorrhage control devices.

The performance learning objectives are to demonstrate the evaluation of previously applied tourniquets for hemorrhage control effectiveness, the appropriate application of a Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care- (CoTCCC-) recommended limb tourniquet, the application of an improvised limb tourniquet, the application of a CoTCCC-recommended hemostatic dressing, wound packing and application of a pressure bandage, improvised junctional hemorrhage control, the application of a CoTCCC-recommended junctional tourniquet, the application of an injectable hemostatic agent, and the application of a wound closure device.
