Who We Are
The George Washington University Emergency Medical Response Group (EMeRG) is a student-based volunteer organization licensed to provide Basic Life Support and serving the GW Foggy Bottom campus. We strive to serve the community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the academic semesters. All of our members are licensed Emergency Medical Technicians at the Basic lever or higher in the District of Columbia.
While our primary mission is to provide outstanding emergency medical care, we also seek to provide valuable educational opportunities for our members as well as to promote the general health and wellbeing of the Foggy Bottom/GW Community. We arrange monthly Continuing Medical Education classes and engage in vigorous precepting and call review activities to ensure that our members continue to serve as excellent medical providers. We also actively look for and welcome any opportunity to engage in community outreach activities.
EMeRG is proud to be composed of undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of major areas of study. While we do have pre-med students, a large portion of our membership is comprised of students whose fields of study are non-science or non-medical related. The members of EMeRG serve because of our passion for public service and emergency medicine, and these motivating factors drive us to continue to excel as healthcare providers regardless of our areas of collegiate study.
