Whats Good?

Why change it?

• We want all of our QRS EMTs to be at the same
  level
• We want to encourage members to hone their skills
• We want to establish a standard of excellence for
  QRS on Bucknells campus

So whats happening?

• SERV QRS Qualification Checksheet
• A committee of 9 SERV members worked together to
  determine criteria that SERV wants each QRS EMT
  to meet
• The checksheet sets a standard for our members to
  meet to provide quality QRS to our campus
• The checksheet requires SERV members to meet WCEC
  standards for EMS response
