Special Events Medical Services (SEMS) teaches EMS providers how to preplan for any large-scale event or mass gathering in their community, as well as how to effectively stage and provide emergency medical support. Event organizers and venue operators know that no two events are exactly alike, but training EMS personnel in SEMS ensures that medical response will be timely and appropriate, regardless of the type or size of the event.
Standing by at mass gatherings requires specialized knowledge and skills beyond core training. SEMS prepares EMS providers to anticipate, plan for, and respond to medical emergencies at any type of special event—NASCAR races, equestrian events, political rallies, state funerals, music festivals, and more.
