Loyola University Chicago

Emergency Medical Services Program

Responder Program

For Those Currently Certified

LUCEMS operates from 6pm to 8am during the week when regular classes are in session and is available during expanded hours on weekends.  Each crew consists of 2 responders who respond to all reported medical calls on the Lakeshore Campus.  The crew has a base available to them (with sleeping quarters, a kitchen, and shower facilities) for all shifts.  Crews respond to all calls for service in an EMS style golf cart. 

If you are a current Loyola University Chicago student, already certified as an EMT-B (or higher) and you are interested in volunteering with LUCEMS, please email us at lucems@luc.edu to set up an appointment to meet with some of our current staff members. 

If you are certified in the state of Illinois, please have the following items ready for when you meet with our staff.  This will help speed up the processing of your system entry.

  • A copy of your current IDPH State EMT-B license
  • A copy of your current Illinois Driver's license
  • A copy of your current CPR certification
  • A completed Personal Data form
