Delta County Ambulance District (DCAD) takes immense pride in fostering the growth of aspiring medical professionals by extending a warm invitation to and hosting students from Delta High School through our Internship Program. In close collaboration with the Delta County School District, we offer these students an immersive and insightful journey into the world of Emergency Medical Services (EMS).

Throughout their internship, students engage in a comprehensive learning experience and, upon completion, receive well-earned certificates for EMR (Emergency Medical Responder). They are assigned to specific shifts where they commit a minimum of 8 hours each week. During their time with us, they actively respond to emergency calls, take part in public relations events, and undergo valuable training alongside our dedicated crews.

This program spans a semester, thus affording us the opportunity to welcome multiple students each year. To ensure a seamless affiliation with DCAD, our student interns are provided with DCAD T-shirts and ID badges, signifying their involvement while on scene. Additionally, students participate in both entry and exit interviews, as well as meetings with their parents, ensuring a transparent understanding of what to expect from DCAD and the care we provide during any type of call.

Our experience in working with these ambitious students who share a passion for medicine is profoundly gratifying. We provide them with a unique perspective within the medical field, and it's heartening to note that numerous students who have completed this program have gone on to attain their EMT certifications, forging a path towards a rewarding and impactful career in healthcare.
