Emory EMS New Volunteer Application: 2025-2026 Academic Year  
  • New Volunteer Application: 2025-2026 Academic Year

    Fall 2025 - Spring 2026 Academic Year
  • Dear EMT/AEMT/Paramedic Applicant,


    Emory Emergency Medical Services (EEMS) is a volunteer EMS agency that provides vital medical services, education, and outreach to Emory University and the surrounding community. EEMS welcomes certified and licensed (or soon to be licensed) EMT, AEMTs, and Paramedics to volunteer to serve with the agency. Emory students (undergraduate and graduate), faculty, and staff are eligible and
    encouraged to apply.

    As an EEMS volunteer, you will be required to work multiple 12-hour shifts per month. While many volunteers choose to continue their involvement with EEMS for the remainder of their time at Emory, new volunteers are expected to commit to at least one (1) academic year of service with EEMS upon their acceptance into the agency. Commitment to EEMS as a volunteer requires considerable extracurricular work, but it can be one of the most rewarding activities during your time at Emory.

    Applicants must have their NREMT Certification upon applying. The final deadline to submit NREMT certification is the application due date of July 7th, 2025, by 11:59 PM ET. Applicants then must obtain a Georgia EMS license and it must be received by August 15th, 2025, by 11:59 PM ET. Please find more information regarding Georgia’s EMS Personnel Licensure here: https://dph.georgia.gov/ems-personnel-licensure.

    Following an initial review of written applications, a select group will be invited for a virtual interview the week of July 14, 2025.

    All accepted applicants are required to attend the New Volunteer Orientation in person at the Emory EMS Headquarters, located at 1599 Clifton Road, Atlanta, GA 30322. The orientation will take place from August 18 to 22, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET.

    NOTE: This application is ONLY for those already certified and licensed (or soon to be licensed) as EMTs, AEMTs, or Paramedics interested in volunteering for the agency. If you are interested in earning your certification with EEMS, please use the separate Emory EMS Education Program application posted elsewhere on our website. For information regarding the Emory EMS organization, please visit emergency.emory.edu/EMS.
