So I'm thinking about taking an EMT-B course over 6 weeks this summer, and then volunteering in a hospital for the remainder. I'll be doing research on campus concurrently. Is it worth taking the course? I've already volunteered in a hospital for ~200 hours, and was BORED out of my mind. They just made me restock blankets and food (does this even count as a clinical experience?). I'm hoping getting certified as an EMT will give me more hands on opportunities. Does this even help with med school apps? The course is ~$800, so this is could be an expensive mistake.
