Emergency Medical Services
UML EMS provides emergency medical service to UMass Lowell and the immediate surrounding area twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. UML EMS currently runs at the Quick Response Level (QRS) and has all the capabilities of a regional EMS service provider minus the patient transporting. We provide emergency medical services to the students, faculty and staff of the university as well as the community at large as needed.UML EMS works with the special population of the UMass Lowell Campus, but works hand in had with the incredible services providers of Lowell. At the BLS transport level, Trinity EMS and at the ALS medical level, with Saints Medical Center.
UML EMS has a very strong partnership with UML PD. UML EMS is dispatched directly through the UML PD 911 dispatch center at UMass Lowell. It is through this strong partnership that UML EMS and UML PD provide fast accurate and appropriate emergency care to the community.
UML EMS currently has a staff of roughly 20 EMT’s trained at the MA EMT Basic Level. The EMT’s work out of two Quick Response SUV’s with full lights and sirens capabilities. EMT’s are kept up to date on Emergency Response and Medical Training as well as Driving Certification classified by NFPA.
UML EMS is part of the Collegiate EMS System that currently has around 300 member colleges from around North America. UML EMS was recognized at the annual conference this past February as the Collegiate EMS Organization of the year. This honor is only bestowed upon one school a year if the Emergency Medical Program, exceeds all expectations and serves as pillar of the NCEMSF organization. UML EMS is truly honored and would love to express its thanks and gratification to the UML community as well as our partners in the field!
