Dalhousie Medical Campus Response Team - DMCRT

🔷🟡Introducing our April Volunteer of the Month, Grace! 🟡🔷Grace is always up for a challenge and has a natural way of making everyone around her feel included. From shifts to training she consistently shows up with great energy and it really comes through in her patient care skills. We are so grateful to have you on the team, Grace!

Service Hours Update! The DMCRT is out of service in residence until the Fall term. In case of an emergency on campus, call DalSafe at 902-494-4109 or via the DalSafe app. If you are off campus, call 911.

We look forward to continuing our presence on campus during the spring/summer term. The DMCRT will cover campus events, such as some convocation ceremonies and other Dalhousie-affiliated events, by request. If your society or Dalhousie association is hosting an event that would benefit from first aid coverage, please click the link in our bio and open the “Request Service” tab.
