The Student Emergency Response Team (SERT)

The Student Emergency Response Team (SERT) Student run organization providing emergency medical response on Western University campuses.

The UWO Student Emergency Response Team (SERT) is a student run, volunteer organization providing emergency medical response to 9-1-1 calls on Main, Brescia, and Huron Campuses. We provide service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the academic school year and 8:30-4:30 weekday service from May to August. We are dispatched through the Campus Community Police Service (CCPS) to any medical emergency on-campus, responding in three person co-ed teams. SERT is unable to provide medical advice over the phone or social media.

Hands-on skills are essential in emergency response, so we decided to put them to the test!

Our responders took on a blindfolded challenge to identify equipment by touch alone.

A fun way to reinforce familiarity with the tools we rely on every day.
�Watch to see how they do!

A little yoga, a lot of laughs, and the cutest goat companions came together to create a truly memorable experience. Our responders had a wonderful time unwinding, connecting, and enjoying such a unique and fun activity.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity and hope to return again in the future.
A huge thank you and shoutout to for hosting us and providing such an amazing experience — we are still smiling!
