About our course
Why Choose Denver Health Paramedics EMS Education - EMT Training Program?
The Paramedic Division at Denver Health Medical Center responds to over 110,000 calls per year. Our EMT students get the opportunity to learn in a high-volume, fast paced urban setting, gaining practical experience unmatched by any other EMT program in Colorado. Riding along with the Denver Health Paramedic Division promises exposure to a wide variety of clinical situations. During the course, students receive approximately 150 hours of both didactic and skills training from paramedics who actively work in the field. In addition, EMT students have the opportunity to complete a shift in one of the busiest emergency departments in the region with both adult and pediatric trauma capabilities.
The Denver Health Paramedics EMT training program follows the National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards and is designed to teach students basic medical skills needed to respond in an emergency situation. Once completed you are eligible to test for the National Registry EMT Certification. Once NREMT certified you can apply for your Colorado State EMT Certification.
Our EMT Course
This course will provide the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) student the knowledge and skills required to provide appropriate emergency care and transportation of patients suffering from traumatic insult/injury and/or of medical nature. Attendance and success of the EMT course requirements will qualify and prepare the learner to sit for the NREMT online exam and participate in the NREMT psychomotor final, although does not guarantee certification.
Registration Information
We operate under the first come first serve philosophy. We strongly encourage you to complete all of the following steps as soon as possible as our courses tend to fill very fast. We begin accepting students as soon as they have completed the process listed below. If a course fills before the deadline it will close to any additional students.
- Step 1: Complete the application form for the course of your choice below and pay the non-refundable application fee.
- Step 2: Once the application is complete you will receive an email from My Clinical Exchange (within 72 business hours), which is Denver Health's mandatory vaccination and certification tracking software. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are in the process of reopening our emergency department and ambulance clinical opportunities, but cannot guarantee that it will be an option for the Spring 2021 Session.
- Step 3: Complete the MANDATORY document uploads into My Clinical Exchange as soon as possible. There is a deadline for uploading the documents into My Clinical Exchange and that can be found on the application page for the course that you have decided to registered for. Failure to complete My Clinical Exchange by the required date will result in your removal from the registration process. These are the documents that will be required to be uploaded to My Clinical Exchange PRIOR to being accepted into the course:

*****My Clinical Exchange Tips: *****
My Clinical Exchange works best on a computer using Chrome or Firefox browsers. Please upload ALL documents as PDF's and photos as JPG's
- Step 4: Once you have completed the uploads to My Clinical Exchange, you will then receive a tuition agreement. A tuition agreement will allow you to make FOUR equal payments if you are registering for the Monday/Wednesday course or the Tuesday/Thursday course. If you are registering for the Accelerated course, you will be able to pay in THREE equal payments. Again, this will only be sent once My Clinical Exchange has been completed and you are compliant in the My Clinical Exchange system.
- Step 5: Once the tuition agreement is signed and returned you will receive an email advising that you have completed the registration process and that you have secured your spot in the course. You will receive a separate email with instructions on how to login to our customer portal to make payments, or to see payments you have made. You will then receive an email from your primary instructor approximately two weeks before class starts introducing themselves and providing information pertaining to the course.
Additional Information
- Background checks can be obtained by going to www.castlebranch.com and utilizing group code EN14 (A fee applies, and is the responsibility of the student to complete the check and upload the results to My Clinical Exchange).
- A critical portion of the EMT Course is skills sessions. These sessions are essential to any EMT course. You will be required to complete 40 hours of skills training. The Skills Academy will typically be conducted during the last two weeks of the course schedule. You will be required to complete the Skills Academy in a one-week block. These sessions will take place at the Rita Bass Trauma and EMS Education Institute building located at 190 West 6th Avenue Denver, Colorado 80204 to participate in the Skills Academy. The week-long Skills Academy will consist of intense skills training to ensure competence for the NREMT psychomotor exam.
- Currently the National Registry for Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) is allowing EMT education facilities to complete courses in this manner. Once you have completed the didactic (cognitive) portion of the course, you will be eligible to receive a "provisional" EMT certification from the NREMT, pursuant to successful completion of the cognitive exam if you are unable to commit to the weeklong Skills Academy. Once successful completion of the skills (psychomotor) portion of the course you will then be eligible for your full certification from the NREMT.

PLEASE NOTE
You will not officially be accepted into the course UNTIL you have completed all of the required steps above, and you have received an email confirmation that you have been officially accepted to the course. Completion of the application does not mean you are "automatically" in the course. We operate under a first come, first serve basis. Those who complete the process first will be accepted first. We will continue to fill spots until the course is full beginning day one. If you do not complete the process in time, you will have to reapply for the next session. If you decide to no longer take the course please notify us ASAP as that could potentially open a spot for someone else in the course. If a course fills before the deadline, the close will be closed and any outstanding applicants will have to attend a future session.

"You're going to be there when a lot of people are born, and when a lot of people die. In most every culture, such moments are regarded as sacred and private, made special by a divine presence. No one on Earth would be welcomed, but you are personally invited. What an honor that is."
