History

Carnegie Mellon EMS was founded in 1982 by a group of students who wished to enhance the patient care and increase awareness of medical emergencies on campus. Since then, CMU EMS has reached such milestones as becoming a Pennsylvania state certified BLS QRS, maintaining an average response time below 5 minutes and likely training hundreds in CPR and first aid. Maintaining an average response time below 5 minutes, CMU EMS continues to provide 24/7 volunteer EMT-B staffing of Carnegie Mellon's Pittsburgh campus throughout the academic year.
