General Information

Joining Columbia University EMS is a commitment. We are not a club or a fraternity, but an essential part of the university. And we take our job seriously. We expect both the students in the course as well as applicants for membership to be willing to dedicate a serious amount of time and energy to this organization.

In order to join, you must attend one of our information sessions at the start of the semester. If you are not an EMT you can register for a semester long certification course that we provide free of charge.

If you are an EMT, sign up for an interview slot. The interview is a casual 15-20 minute conversation about your experiences, motivations, and abilities. We want to make sure you are up to the challenge and will be an asset to our corps. Generally, about 30 students apply each semester, and only 10 are selected to be probationary members. Feel free to apply multiple times.

We look for EMT who are 18 years or older. Previous is experience is an advantage but by no means a requirement. We are a training corps so we expect our applicants to be open minded, enthusiastic, able to perform their EMT skills under pressure, and willing to put in the time and energy to learn how EMS works.
