PHOTOS: By working closely with the Richardson Fire Department, the University of Texas at Dallasโs student-led EMS program has become the first line of response for most campus emergencies and earned national honors.
The program is student-led and one of three collegiate EMS organizations in the state, EMS Director Sheila Elliott said, adding there are only about 300 organizations nationwide. Additionally, the organization was awarded Collegiate EMS Organization of the Year from the National Collegiate EMS Foundation. Other universities such as Stephen F. Austin University, Southern Methodist University and University of Texas at Arlington have contacted Elliott with interest in starting a similar organization.
