FAQ
In other years, we have asked applicants to have first aid certification before applying to MSERT, and we have asked applicants to review that content before applying. However, since it is not the case this year, we only recommend that you attend the information sessions and that you ask us any questions you might have!
Unfortunately, we only hold one recruit new team members in the Fall semester.
You are not required or expected to have prior experience to join MSERT. We provide a First Responder course for new responders and will teach members any skills they need to know!
