Understand, Application for clinical hyperbarics, although the physics and the equipment you have the skills there is no doubt. The pathology and clinical medicine is not covered in these courses and that is why they dont cross over. Your hitting very different knowledge application, even though procedural you would have the skills.

 

I would have let you do hours toward your CHT if you had taken the course, as a physican I can write those hours and it is to bad someone told you you must be an EMT-b- You must have a vocational license of CNA or better to acquire a CHT license with the 480 hrs so that is an untrue statement and sad that no one would allow you to acquire hrs.

 

I provide an internship to my students who desire it and help with job placement

even having the into CHT course that went into the pathology and clinical medicine for HBO indications, they will not even let me intern to work towards CHT hours without at least EMT-B, when I learned skill sets in an IMCA DMT course that are more advanced than emt-b.  Also I guess I could say I am a little disgruntled because in taking the into CHT course I was told i could work offshore as an LST with that course(didnt believe that knew better) but not once was i told that i needed an EMT cert to acc**ulate CHT hours... I know its not your fault just sharing my experience

My name is Shawn Keyes. I am a commercial diver / graduate from CDA. I have worked hard as an inland / freelance diver for 3 years and I own my own small dive business cleaning / maintaining small yachts. I attended Dr. Sexton's CHT course last December and my life has quickly taken a new direction. After taking his hyperbaric team member course, I stayed at his facility (Hyperbaric Centers of Florida) to complete my internship required for CHT certification. I am happy to report I passed my national board exam less than 2 weeks ago. I had multiple job opportunities available to me before my internship was complete. I am working with a major healthcare provider as a CHT and making very good money for not having a medical background. Last week I attended a Hyperbaric Safety Director and a Acrylic Inspector course through Caribbean Hyperbarics (Sexton's business) at Teckna Mfg. and I have already signed up for my DMT certification in May. Dr. Sexton is legit and KNOWS what he is talking about. I was on the fence about making this transition and he made it fun and exciting. Hyperbarics is poised to make alot of new advances in the near future and Sexton will be a vocal leader in this field. How many people do you know who actually care about your future? (who aren't full of s***) We all know there aren't any old men doing U/W work, I assure you I will be doing this for many years to come.
