Event Coverage
Texas A&M University EMS is able to assist you in providing medical coverage for your event. We offer an assortment of services and can provide different levels of credentialed staff to meet your needs. In addition to medical coverage, Texas A&M offers CPR classes. Please visit our CPR Education page for more information.
If your event is off campus, prior notice is needed to coordinate with the department that has jurisdiction at your requested site.
Please submit event requests prior to the 20th of the previous month AND at least 2 weeks in advance to allow us ample time to staff your event.
Texas A&M EMS Offers:
Unit Type: | Description: |
---|---|
Standby EMT | Standby EMTs come equipped with first aid equipment and an AED. EMTs can treat minor injuries and, in more serious situations, can start life-saving treatments before an ambulance arrives. |
Foot Paramedic | Paramedics can provide the same treatments as EMTs but can also initiate more intensive care, such as emergent IV therapy and cardiac monitoring, prior to ambulance arrival. |
Quick Response Vehicle | Texas A&M EMS utilizes a Tahoe as the QRV. It can be used to respond to emergencies faster than foot paramedics and at greater distances and can initiate care before the arrival of an ambulance. |
Bike Team | Bike teams come in pairs and are able to respond quickly to emergencies in situations where a vehicle may have a harder time accessing the patient. |
Dedicated Ambulance | Dedicated ambulances can provide full advanced life support capabilities, including cardiac monitoring, emergent IV therapy, advanced airway management, and advanced medication administration. Dedicated ambulances do not typically transport and will provide care until another ambulance arrives. |
