There are a variety of paths those interested in joining MERT can take in order to become a member and we are here to help along the way.
All members are required to take a total of 24 hours of shifts each month. Part of these 24 hours include a minimum of one athletic shift per semester.
In addition to weekly GBMs, MERT also holds special training events throughout the school year to prepare members to better handle more complicated events.
Each week MERT holds general body meetings which are meant to maintain members’ competency in a variety of skills ranging from cardiac arrest to trauma.
Like any EMS organization, MERT members must do continuing education in order to keep both state and national EMT licenses and CPR certification.
If the timing of MERT’s EMT class does not fit with your schedule, there are many classes offered by other organizations that may work for you.
