Medical Response Unit (MRU)

Together with UEMSA, Student Health & Wellness Center (SWC) [formerly Student Health Services], and the USF Student Government have collaborated to develop a Medical Response Unit (MRU) Program on the University of South Florida Tampa Campus.

The MRU Service provides on-scene Basic Life Support (BLS) interventions for students, staff, faculty, and guests of the USF Tampa Campus by calling 813.974.4MRU (813.974.4678). 

The MRU Service is staffed by state and nationally certified Paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), and Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs).

The MRU will provide free courtesy medical transportation to and from the Student Health & Wellness Center, Morsani Institute, and on-campus residence halls for students.
