Smith College Emergency Medical Services (commonly
called SCEMS -- pronounced "semz")
is a volunteer student organization devoted to providing emergency
medical care. If a medical emergency occurs on campus while SCEMS is on duty, Public
Safety contacts SCEMS, and a first responder and an emergency medical technician
are dispatched to the scene. Responders administer medical care according to their
training, and eventually transfer the patient to Health Services or Cooley-Dickinson
Hospital if necessary. SCEMS is on call from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Thursday through Sunday.
Many SCEMS members are pre-med students who want to
gain medical experience and skills before applying to medical school. Some are interested
in emergency preparedness and training, and somejust want to help others or
get involved in campus life.
Smith College Emergency Medical Services is
a volunteer branch of Public Safety.
