members about our organization.
What is Eagle EMS?
Eagle EMS is student-run, all-volunteer, quick response emergency
medical service that has served Boston College and the community
since 1997. We provide Basic Life Support (BLS) services through
the use of highly trained, volunteer EMTs to students, faulty, staff,
and visitors of the BC campus at a variety of campus events and
functions. We also are responsible for running various training
courses in the field of Emergency Medical Education and promoting
EMS awareness to the entire university community.
What is an EMT?
An emergency medical technician (EMT) is a trained professional
who responds to emergency medical situations, such as car accidents,
fires, or injuries occurring in homes or workplaces. Here at Eagle
EMS, our EMTs are trained to the EMT-Basic level, which allows us
to deal with almost all types of medical and traumatic emergencies.
We assist the BCPD and local EMS agencies in providing first response
care to the BC campus.
