Approved groups begin a probationary period focused on building awareness and interest on campus. During this time, chapters host introductory meetings, engage their campus community, and demonstrate commitment to EMCA’s mission.
At the end of the probationary semester, groups submit a brief summary of their activities, outreach efforts, and lessons learned. This allows EMCA National to assess readiness for full chapter status.
Groups that successfully complete the probationary period are approved as official EMCA chapters. Approved chapters receive access to leadership roles, operational resources, branding materials, and national support.
Founding members must be certified EMTs in good standing and enrolled at the institution where the chapter will be formed.
No. Individual EMTs or small groups may submit interest. A small founding team is required before beginning the probationary semester.

The probationary period typically lasts one academic semester or quarter, depending on the school’s academic calendar.
Executive board roles are established after successful completion of the probationary semester and approval by EMCA National.
No. All submissions are reviewed to ensure alignment with EMCA’s mission, standards, and capacity for sustainable growth.
