Emergency Medical Services

Collegiate EMS Service


Massachusetts Maritime Academy EMS is one of two collegiate EMS services in Massachusetts with transport capability. Our staff includes 16 EMT’s and together we respond to hundreds of emergency calls on campus every year.  During the day our EMT’s are full time students getting their undergraduate degree. At night, our students balance the academic rigors of the Academy and answer emergency medical calls. Thanks to the continuing support from Mass Maritime Board of Trustee member Brian Connor, we now respond in a type III ambulance. We continue to utilize the SUV and golf cart where appropriate and use them as support vehicles. When we are in service we have four EMT’s on: a Supervisor, a Senior EMT, and a Junior EMT, and a Third Rider. This ensures a fast response time and that the highest quality medical care is provided to our patients. We use the smaller size of the campus to our advantage. Once we are dispatched through Public Safety or the Cadet Information Center (CIC), we often arrive on scene within one minute.

Massachusetts Maritime Academy EMS holds a semesterly EMT-B class when student interest is high.  Email us at ems@maritime.edu for more information.

We also coordinate and hold a semesterly EMT class on campus based on student interest.  Every year we have freshman through senior cadets enroll in the course looking to become certified as an EMT-B.  Many times once cadets pass their national and state exams, they join the Massachusetts Maritime Academy EMS family and service the campus day and night.

We work in cooperation with many different local departments and agencies including but not limited to the Bourne Fire Department, Bourne Police Department, Wareham EMS, Massachusetts Maritime Academy Public Safety, and Massachusetts Maritime Academy Health Services.
