Below is a list of the commonly asked questions from prospective 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.

How do I join Eagle EMS?
Eagle EMS is open to all students at Boston College who have a desire to help people in their time of need. There are 3 main paths you can take to join Eagle EMS:

  • Take the Eagle EMS sponsored EMT-Basic class held every spring semester on campus. Information on this class can be found on our education page.
