Temple University EMS is a BLS Quick Response Service on Temple University’s Main Campus.
Temple University Emergency Medical Services (TUEMS) is a student run, volunteer, Basic Life Support organization that services Temple University’s Main Campus. TUEMS is based solely on bicycles and we respond immediately to provide initial triage and basic life support care until more advanced care arrives. TUEMS tries to reduce strain on the City of Philadelphia’s Fire Department Medics. In the event that a patient needs to go to the hospital, TUEMS prepares them, which reduces the time Philadelphia Fire Department Medics remain on scene.
