Cardiac on Campus aims to prevent sudden cardiac arrest at UW–Madison and in the broader Madison community. We achieve this through free CPR classes, free electrocardiogram (ECG) screenings, and donations of AEDs to campus and local buildings. We also host the annual Red Tutu Trot, a charity 5k run/walk that funds our initiatives and raises awareness for heart health in Madison.

The purpose of the bi-weekly meetings will be to prepare members for health careers with speakers and seminars and educate about community health. In addition to bi-weekly meetings, Cardiac on Campus offers various opportunities to volunteer and network with health professionals, including a shadowing program at UW-Health where members can shadow MDs, PAs and RNs in the cardiology unit.
