EMT Training

Becoming an EMT involves a 120 hour classroom course with an additional 10 hour hospital observation. There is usually at least one EMT course taught annually either on the Dartmouth campus, or at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC). Course dates will be posted as they become available to us. Visit the website of the NH Dept. of Safety for more NH EMT information.

DHMC also offers a variety of Continuing Education courses; sometimes these courses will be offered on campus. Again, we will post available dates as they become available. You can monitor the Dartmouth EMS blitz bulletin for more information.


Reciprocity

If you are currently an EMT in another state and interested in working for Dartmouth EMS, New Hampshire may provide reciprocity for your certification. Please talk to the current EMS director who can provide you with all the paperwork necessary get started on the NH license application process.
