We collect annual dues from our members. Each semester we also apply for student organization funds and have been very generously rewarded in the past. Additional funds are earned throught the teaching of First Aid and CPR classes to our members and the general public. We also sell an assortment of IEMS t-shirts and sweatshirts. Each department has one vice-president and one to two assistants, with the president overseeing the entire organization.
Response time depends upon the event being worked, but is always under five minutes.
IEMS was founded in 1979 by some students EMTs who decided that the two first-aid rooms at the Stadium were not adequate medical coverage for a typical stadium event.
