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. Due to COVID-19 restrictions we are currently unable to offer time on a Denver Health Ambulance. We will be allowing time in the Denver Health Emergency Department starting January 1st, 2022.
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.

Reviews
"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."
