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.
