When are you on duty?
We are on duty every night of the academic year from 5pm-8am. This does not include academic holidays (winter, spring breaks) and finals week.
What do you do while on duty?
We have an office in Casa Italiana Residence Hall where we sleep overnight. In between running calls, we train, get dinner, work on homework, etc.
Do you get paid?
We are a fully volunteer organization, so none of our EMTs get paid.
Do we write up residents?
We do not issue write-ups, fines, or any sort of disciplinary actions on our patients.
What are the policies for students who call about an emergency?
Medical Amnesty and Good Samaritan are in place so that students will not hesitate to call the EMTs when someone is intoxicated and needs medical attention.
We currently have 3 golf carts to transport ourselves and our gear to the scene of each incident. Our average response time is under 3 minutes anywhere on campus.

- Medical Amnesty: If a student in need of EMS for an alcohol related emergency has had no prior alcohol violations they may be granted Medical Amnesty. This will protect them from any disciplinary action from the university.
- Good Samaritan: If you are under the influence of alcohol and need to call the EMTs on behalf of someone else, you will not disciplinary action for your alcohol violation.
