Student-run EMS programs are powerful incubators for clinical skill and leadership. In this episode of Cogent Conversations, Dr. Shelly Weinstein explores that model in action with Brad Morrison and Andrew Tang, crew chiefs for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology EMS Service in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Both MIT graduates and seasoned EMTs, Brad and Andrew discuss their work training and mentoring student volunteers who provide ambulance operations for the MIT campus and surrounding communities. The conversation explores the intersection of education and emergency care and how volunteer EMS programs can help develop clinical skills, leadership, and a lasting commitment to service.
