Located on campuses around the country, emergency response teams that draw on their student populations and other professionals are growing in popularity. They also have a national organization to coordinate some of their educational outreach activities, the National Collegiate Emergency Services Foundation (NCEMSF). While much of the site is dedicated to providing information for member institutions, persons entering the field of emergency services (and those who teach them) will find several parts of the site germane to their work. First, the site has a number of electronic discussion areas where visitors can learn about updated techniques for dealing with scenarios including cardiac arrest and trauma. Additionally, the site contains a link to a set of standard operating procedures maintained at different colleges, including Brandeis University and Western Illinois University.
