Following form submission of the online TEMS application, applicants will be notified via email to take our written exam. The spring 2023 written exam will be held on Sunday, February 5th. Some applicants will be invited to take our practical exam. The spring 2023 practical exam will be held on Saturday, February 11th. Exam content is similar to that covered in the NREMT practical (psycho-motor) and written (cognitive) exams. Based on exam performance, applicants may be invited to complete an interview. All accepted applicants will be invited to mandatory orientation trainings.
Being a TEMS EMT represents a significant time commitment and includes shifts during days, nights, weekends, and major university events such as Fall Gala and Spring Fling. TEMS EMTs must be able to respond to medical emergencies in a safe and professional manner.
Please note that our applicant pool is very competitive. Due to limited space, Tufts EMS can only admit a small number of the many qualified EMTs who apply each semester. Applicants who are not selected are encouraged to apply again in the following semester provided that they still meet the above qualifications. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at tems@tufts.edu.
