Our Mission
At Apex Medical Institute, we bridge the critical gap between basic first aid and surgical-level field care. Located in Woodland Park, Colorado, our mission is to equip law enforcement and civilians with mission-ready skills through high-fidelity, stress-inoculation trauma simulations that mirror the chaos of real-world emergencies.
Davis Murphy
CEO & Lead INstructor
Former U.S. Army 68W Combat Medic with operational experience supporting infantry units in field environments and providing care in real-world, high-tempo settings, including an overseas assignment in Europe.
My background also includes clinical experience that strengthened my foundation in anatomy, physiology, and trauma care principles.
For the past five years, I have specialized in teaching Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), leading training for both military and civilian audiences, including a single multi-million-dollar organization. My instruction emphasizes practical application, clarity, and understanding the “why” behind each skill, ensuring it can be effectively applied under stress.
Above all, I am passionate about teaching and developing others. I am committed to helping individuals and teams build confidence, strengthen decision-making, and perform effectively in critical, high-stakes situations.
