At last, students will finally get to see what the two-year wait for the Medical Response Unit (MRU) was all about.

The new campus emergency transportation vehicle will be rolling onto campus Thursday on the Marshall Student Center lawn from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the official launching event.

Student Health Services (SHS), Student Government (SG) and the University Emergency Medicine Student Association (UEMSA) collaborated to curate an MRU to provide Basic Life Support (BLS) care for USF students, faculty, staff and guests.

University of South Florida Bulls too sick or injured to get to the campus health clinic now have an easy solution: call the new student-staffed Medical Response Unit.

The medical transport service ­— run by Bulls certified as Emergency Medical Responders (EMR), Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT), and paramedics — will triage and take students to Student Health Services on the Tampa campus.
