Participation in committees is a great way to become more closely involved with CWRU EMS and its operations. Each committee welcomes members of all ranks, but please note that IDC is open to clinical members only. Please plan to dedicate at least 1 hour per week to attend meetings and work on committee projects.
E&E (Enrichment and Engagement Committee)
Chair: Savitha Senthilkumar
The Enrichment and Engagement Committee is dedicated to fostering an inclusive, compassionate, and community-focused culture within CWRU EMS. Our goal is to ensure that every member of our organization, and every patient we serve, feels respected, supported, and understood, regardless of background, identity, or lived experience. We aim to improve clinical education surrounding diverse populations, collaborate with other clubs to raise awareness, and work on other projects to provide equitable care for all communities. Email the chair for more information.
EOC (Education and Outreach Committee)
Chair: Morgan Horowitz
The Education and Outreach Committee serves both the CWRU and greater Cleveland communities through hands-on training and community engagement. The committee offers classes such as Narcan, Stop the Bleed, CPR, and its newest addition, Stroke Awareness. Each course is designed to give bystanders the knowledge and confidence to step in during an emergency. Members of this committee are dedicated providers who are trained not only to respond to emergencies but also to educate and advocate for the community through our various programs. Many members go a step further by becoming certified CPR instructors through the AHA (American Heart Association), showing a strong commitment to public health. Overall, the work of EOC makes a real difference by empowering people to take action when it matters most. Email the chair for more information.
