Come visit Emergency Care Team at the Spring MSC Open House on January 22nd from 1-4pm.  Our booth will be set up outside the REC center with EMS.  Stop by to learn more about what we do, our equipment and training, and how to get involved!

Help Emergency Care Team prepare for a Mass Causality Incident (MCI) by volunteering to be a patient at our Mock MCI on February 11, 2011! This event is extremely necessary to make sure that we are prepared to help Texas A&M and the community if there is an incident with a high number of medical injuries. For the day you will receive approximately 7 volunteer hours.

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer contact our Emergency Response Coordinator, Josh Shepard, at erc@tamect.tamu.edu

Howdy Ags!

The application period for Fall 2011 has closed for the semester.  If you are still looking to join, be sure to check back in January when our applications will be open again.

This weekend, TAMECT and Texas A&M EMS represented Texas A&M in the 18th annual National Collegiate EMS Foundation (NCEMSF) Conference in Philadelphia, PA. Together we attended many hours of lectures designed to broaden our knowledge base and update us on the most recent practices within the EMS field.

At each conference, NCEMSF hosts a skills competition at both the BLS and ALS levels, consisting of both medical and trauma scenarios as well as a team-building event. Texas A&M Emergency Care Team won FIRST PLACE in the skills competition out of approximately 40 different campus BLS organizations.

This year, for the first time, NCEMSF hosted a "finale" consisting of a mock mass casualty incident (MCI). The top 6 BLS teams from the skills competition participated in this teamwork event, managing a mock plane crash. Texas A&M Emergency Care Team also won FIRST PLACE in this competition.

Congratulations to TAMECT for earning the title of best collegiate EMS squad in both BLS skills and MCI in the nation!
