Cooper Scherr and Kennedy Sundberg: Emergency Medical Services

In this episode, I interview Cooper Scherr and Kennedy Sundberg,
the former and current directors of Santa Clara’s Emergency
Medical Services (EMS) organization. Each member is a certified
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). EMT’s are the first
responders to on-campus emergencies, and can provide stabilizing
medical care to patients. Several members of the EMS “squad” are
on duty each night from 5pm to 8am to respond to any emergencies.
The organization is almost entirely student-run, and provides
excellent medial training for a range of students interested in
many fields of health and medicine.


Cooper Scherr is a graduating senior history major, and Kennedy
Sundberg is a junior biology major and the current director of
EMS. In this episode, you’ll hear how Cooper and Kennedy found
the squad, what non-medical people can learn from their
experience, and how becoming an EMT has shaped their college
experience.
