Beyond the Timeline
If we listed out every important date or event for EMS at Tech, the timeline above would stretch for quite a while. In the interest of condensing the page, here’s a mere highlight of some other cool stuff we’ve done over the years.
First NCEMSF Conference Attended
GT EMS sent two members to the National Collegiate EMS Foundation conference in February, 2022. Two years later, EMSaT sent six members to the 2024 conference nearly fully funded.
EMSaT Partners with ROTC
On September 11, 2023, two members of EMS at Tech joined the ROTC in an early-morning stair climb in honor of the victims of 9/11. The following year, EMSaT and Army ROTC held a joint TCCC training event, sparking a continuous relationship between the organizations. This has since continued with annual 9/11 stair climbs and regular joint events.
GTSF and Parent’s Fund
EMS at Tech is awarded both the Georgia Tech Student Fund and Parent’s Fund in 2023-2024. The former was put toward equipment for EMSaT’s semesterly CPR-athon, while the latter was used to launch EMSaT’s CPR certification program.
