A Texas Medical Rangers (TMR) information session will be held at 5 p.m. Tuesday, July 13, in Room 409L in the School of Medicine building. Questions on membership eligibility, time commitments and what to do to join will be addressed in the session. Attending an information session is the first step to joining the TMR.
TMR are members of an emergency medical response team that trains to provide auxiliary support and assistance to the public health authorities and includes both health professionals and non-health professionals. Health professionals may provide assistance by providing mass vaccinations, emergency medications and surveillance activities of patient symptoms and conditions in emergency situations. People who are not health professionals perform duties such as record keeping, site sanitation, crowd management and serving in call centers to answer the public’s questions.
After attending a TMR information session, participants are welcome to schedule a placement interview by calling (210) 567-7121.
