Course Overview
The Unified Diver Medical Technician (DMT) / Clinical Hyperbaric Technician (CHT) Online Certification Course is an advanced specialty education program designed exclusively for currently licensed EMTs and Paramedics seeking to expand their careers into hyperbaric medicine, clinical wound care, and dive/operational medical support.
This unified program combines the educational requirements for both DMT and CHT certification into a single, comprehensive course. Graduates may apply for DMT certification, CHT certification, or both, depending on their professional goals.
The course is delivered 100% online and self-paced, allowing EMS professionals to complete the full program without any in-person classroom or skills sessions, while earning 40 hours of Florida EMS–approved continuing education credit.
Important Scope Statement
Completion of this course does not expand or alter scope of practice.
- EMTs continue to operate at the BLS level
- Paramedics continue to operate at the ALS level
This program provides advanced academic knowledge and specialty training in hyperbaric and dive medicine consistent with licensure, employer policy, and medical direction.
What Makes the Unified Course Different
Historically, DMT and CHT training were delivered as separate, in-person programs, often requiring redundant coursework and early pathway selection.
Through alignment with the International Board of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (IBHBOT), Trilogy Emergency Medical Solutions has received approval to expand the DMT program into a Unified Course that meets the educational requirements for both certifications.
This allows EMS professionals to:
- Complete one course
- Avoid duplicated training
- Decide after completion whether to pursue DMT, CHT, or dual certification
Course Format (EMT & Paramedic – Online Track)
- 100% online, self-paced coursework
- Recorded instructor-led lectures
- Case-based clinical and operational reviews
- Advanced hyperbaric and dive medicine education
- Online board certification examination through IBHBOT
✅ No in-person training or skills sessions are required for EMTs or Paramedics completing the Unified Course online.
