NCEMSF is a 501(c)(3) organization devoted to promoting and growing collegiate EMS in the United States and other countries. Founded in 1993, the organization now has over 200 institutional members, and its annual conference routinely draws more than 1000 attendees. Continuing to provide that mission is only possible through the hard work and dedication of the all-volunteer staff.
NCEMSF staff members are all former collegiate EMTs who now dedicate their time to continuing NCEMSF's commitment to growing the field of collegiate EMS. This typically involves spending several hours per week responding to questions, producing or updating materials, reviewing submitted documents, and planning for future activities. Business within the organization is conducted virtually, typically via email, conference call, or webinar. Business with outside entities (collegiate EMS organizations, other nonprofits, sponsors, etc.) can be conducted virtually or in-person, depending on the needs of the relationship and the location of the NCEMSF staff member relative to the person or group they are meeting with.
Our staff come from a variety of backgrounds. Some were founding members of their collegiate EMS groups, while others were not. While some are physicians or medical students and others are in other healthcare fields, many hail from fields not related to healthcare, including emergency management, business, airport operations, and environmental protection. We have also had numerous staff who have gone from collegiate EMS into full-time and reserve careers with the US Military. That said, we do prefer that all staff maintain awareness of the current state of EMS in their state, as that is beneficial to our staff's ability to provide guidance to member organizations.
When selecting new staff members, NCEMSF specifically looks for individuals with the following qualifications:
- While in college, was a member of that school's collegiate EMS organization. Preference will be given to candidates with any of the following additional qualifications:

- Must be able to attend the organization's annual conference, including setup and take-down times. The conference is typically held on the last weekend in February, with setup occurring the Wednesday or Thursday before the Conference and take-down lasting through Sunday evening. NCEMSF staff are provided with a hotel room (shared with another staff member) and some meals, but are responsible for their own transportation.
