The Carleton University Student Emergency Response Team (CUSERT) is a student-run campus medical response team that operates as a branch of Carleton’s Campus Safety Services.

CUSERT provides free on-call emergency medical first response 24/7 on campus, covers Carleton events, and teaches first aid classes for the Carleton community. If you have any emergency on campus, call 613-520-4444 or 4444 from any campus phone.

They’re actively recruiting students to become volunteer medical first responders and join them in responding to approximately 500 calls for service per year.

This is a positive way to spend your free time that involves helping others in the Carleton community, getting to know other students, improving your first aid skills, and working directly with other members of Campus Safety Services. Students from all years, including first-year students, are encouraged to apply.

The application deadline is Saturday, September 14th. Learn more about the requirements at www.carleton.ca/cusert/join-cusert/, and contact cusert_applications@carleton.ca if you have any questions.
