Join The Auxiliary - Quinnipiac University EMS

The Auxiliary Division of QU EMS aims to involve non-EMT certified Quinnipiac students who are interested in emergency services and community education with the initiatives of the QU EMS EMT division. Members are eligible to attend membership meetings, training, and events. If members are interested, they can role play as our patient during mock calls on the Mount Carmel and York Hill campuses to help us prepare and train our EMT division. Members are also eligible to partake in community education initiatives by teaching Hands-Only CPR and Stop the Bleed courses for the Quinnipiac community. The Auxiliary Program provides members with the opportunity to explore EMS before enrolling in a class.
