About Us

University Emergency Medical Response (UEMR) is a 501C3 non-profit registered First Responder Organization and EMS Education agency contracted by UT Dallas to provide services. UEMR has two divisions: EMS Operations and EMS Education.

EMS Operations

UEMR is a Registered First Responder Organization with professionally trained student, faculty, and staff EMS volunteers. Our volunteers are all certified as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), Advanced EMTs or Paramedics, and donate their time every week to respond to medical emergencies at UT Dallas.

In life-threatening emergencies, seconds save lives. UEMR shortens response time and improves the accessibility of care for members of the UT Dallas community. UEMR provides emergency medical care at the advanced life support level, free of charge to all students, faculty, staff, and visitors of UT Dallas. UEMR works very closely with the Richardson Fire Department and will coordinate with them when an ambulance is needed on campus. UEMR personnel provide early interventions and communicate with responding paramedics to ensure a smooth transition for patient care.

EMS Education

UEMR is approved by the Texas Department of State Health Services to conduct initial training programs for EMS personnel in Texas to become licensed providers. Currently, UEMR offers several EMT courses in the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters. We also offer paramedic courses through our partnership with Methodist Health Systems. All courses are open to the public. Click HERE for more information and to register for classes.
