Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) requires an application process to join the club. You can subscribe to this club to get notified when applications open and close. This club typically recruits its members during both semesters.
Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) provides the following information on how to get involved with the club:
There are two pathways to join MERT:
------------------------------------------
Reciprocity: If you have a current EMT certification from another state/NREMT, you are eligible to apply for MERT through our reciprocity pathway. If your license is not from Pennsylvania, you will also need to complete the reciprocity process to transfer your license, which you will work on with MERT after acceptance to our organization.
-
To receive the application, please complete the 2026 MERT Interest Form. You will be contacted by email once the application is released.
A virtual information session for the reciprocity cohort will be held on Thursday, January 29, from 7:00-8:00 PM on Zoom. Please be sure to fill out the 2026 MERT Interest Form to receive the Zoom link.

We will reach out to schedule coffee chats and send out interview invites to selected applicants after the application deadline. Coffee chats with members of the MERT Board will occur between Thursday, February 19th, and Saturday, February 28th. Interviews are scheduled to be on Sunday, March 1st. Final decisions will be released within a few days of interviews.
