OUR MEMBERS
Check back soon to see our membership for the 2025-2026 academic year!
DMCRT has five teams of people who work to make Dalhousie a safer and healthier community.
The Executive
The Executive is responsible for the operation of all aspects of the society, from training members to organizing first aid sessions open to the Dalhousie community. The Executive is elected by all DMCRT members at the Annual General Meeting in March.
Our Duty Supervisors
Duty supervisors are responsible for leading and managing a small team of Volunteer Medical Responders at DMCRT-attended events. They are responsible for coordinating equipment before the duty, and maintaining communication with event organizers.
Our Volunteer Medical Responders
Volunteer medical responders are equipped with advanced first aid certification and mental health first aid. They provide coverage at athletic events, recreational activities, orientation week, DSU society gatherings, and special events.
The Advisory Committee
The advisory committee allows for the continuous handover of information and provides guidance in DMCRT decision making for future years. It is made up of three not-returning members. The advisory committee members attend at least one meeting monthly.

The Patient Volunteer Program
Patient volunteers are a critical component of our ongoing training sessions. Patient volunteers receive mock patient scenarios from the training department, which they learn and bring to our first aid training sessions. While volunteers will not practice first aid, they gain valuable experience as our responders take a patient history or non-invasive vitals during scenarios. This program allows insight into the roles and responsibilities of a Volunteer Medical Responder and the operations of the DMCRT.
