Medic

Medics will collaborate with other volunteers in Street Medics Austin as we provide first aid and medical support at local protests, events, and unhoused camps. You will provide direct first aid as allowed under Good Samaritan laws, distribute water and other supplies, and work to ensure the overall community well-being. If you are not a licensed emergency responder or healthcare provider, you must have or be willing to get your First Aid and Basic Life Support (BLS) certifications and you must provide proof of training (we will train you if you are not currently certified). You must adhere to SMA’s Code of Conduct and Ethics, and remain neutral at all times, treating patients based on medical need and not political or other beliefs. You may provide your own first aid supplies, or use the supplies provided by SMA. Students are welcome!
