Mission Anteater Emergency Medical Services' (AEMS) mission includes providing standby Basic Life Support (BLS) medical care and lifesaving education to the campus community, as well as providing a path for its members to become licensed and competent health care providers (EMT-B), gain clinical patient care experience, and learn more about how EMS and Emergency Medicine systems function, as it is connected with the Department of Emergency Medicine at the UCI Medical Center. AEMS provides standby BLS medical services at a variety of on-campus events through California EMT-certified volunteers from the student population. In addition, AEMS comprises student members who plan to become or are currently completing coursework to become an active EMT volunteer for the organization. AEMS has taught more than 1000 students, staff, and other community members how to control life-threatening bleeding through the nationally accredited Stop the Bleed campaign, which includes tourniquet application and wound packing. AEMS has joined more than 250 colleges nationwide with collegiate EMS organizations.
