About SEMS

Student Emergency Medical Services (SEMS) at Arizona State University is a group of ASU students who are trained and certified as Emergency Medical Technician - Basics. We work with the Campus Health Service, the Tempe Fire Department, the ASU Police Department, the PMT Ambulance service, and countless other organizations to provide care for those in need on the ASU-Tempe campus.

The EMTs of SEMS are Nationally Registered EMT-Bs, and are all certified with the State of Arizona - Department of Health Services. Our training is equivalent to that of EMTs on fire engines and ambulances.

SEMS was conceived in February 2008, and had its first standby event in February of 2009. SEMS crews began responding to 911 calls in February of 2010.

Our Mission

Student Emergency Medical Services at Arizona State University exists to provide:

students, staff, faculty, and visitors of the ASU community with outstanding pre-hospital care, in accordance with local and national criterion, during medical emergencies;
professional, dependable cooperation to members of local emergency response groups (such as local fire departments, police departments, ambulance companies, and hospitals);
its clinical practitioners with training that meets or exceeds all local and national standards, and is topical to the collegiate EMS environment;
a unique opportunity for Sun Devil EMTs to gain practical experience that will prepare them for careers in healthcare.
