Welcome to the website of Student Emergency Medical Services at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Student Emergency Medical Services was formed at the University of Colorado in the fall of 2004 and has been growing ever since. The SEMS-CU program aims to develop a safer student experience through peer-to-peer education and quality emergency care using:

1. Trained emergency medical technicians (EMTs) that stand duty during student organized and/or campus-affiliated social and sporting events where alcohol and drugrelated incidents and/or trauma may occur. EMT volunteers attend these events upon invitation.
2. Peer-to-peer general education of incoming freshman about the dangers of binge drinking, alcohol and drug poisoning, and the risks of college social life.
3. A liaison program that trains student group and/or university-affiliated group volunteers in CPR, first aid, and/or alcohol/drug emergency preparedness to act as peer responders for their own organization at potentially dangerous private social events.
