UCLA EMS offers ride-alongs to students, staff and visitors wishing to learn more about the campus ambulance program or emergency medical services in general. These ride-alongs are for observation only. Regardless of medical training, our ride-along participants cannot assist in patient care. While anyone is welcome to ride with us, our ride-alongs typically do not qualify for credit in the UCLA EMT training program. The reason for this is that our call volume is not high enough and we cannot allow students to play an active enough role in patient care to make the experience worthwhile. Ride-alongs are typically scheduled for weekdays between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., however requests for other days and times will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Upon arrival for your ride-along shift, you will be required to sign a liability waiver and agree to a routine wants and warrants check by the on-duty watch commander prior to being allowed inside the Police Station. All ride-along participants must be 18 years of age or older.
