Life-saving skills at MIT

In 2013 MIT was the first college or university in the country awarded the status of a HEARTSafe Campus. Maintaining the status of a HEARTSafe Campus requires that a minimum of 5 percent of the community is CPR-trained. MIT Emergency Medical Services (EMS) offers an annual EMT training course and monthly CRP certification opportunities for members of the MIT community. (Learn more: https://ems.mit.edu/)

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is an independent, coeducational, privately endowed university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our mission is to advance knowledge; to educate students in science, engineering, and technology; and to tackle the most pressing problems facing the world today. We are a community of hands-on problem-solvers in love with fundamental science and eager to make the world a better place.

The MIT YouTube channel features videos about all types of MIT research, including the robot cheetah, LIGO, gravitational waves, mathematics, and bombardier beetles, as well as videos on origami, time capsules, and other aspects of life and culture on the MIT campus. Our goal is to open the doors of MIT and bring the Institute to the world through video.
