I've been an EMT-B for 7 years, 911 response, and am currently a first-year med student. My cert expires at the end of 2011, and I'm wondering if it's worth it to renew?
Obviously I'm learning far more in medical school, but I've got some sentimental attachment. Also, it will only take me 24 hrs more of continuing education to renew and I'm good for another 5 years, when I'll be well into my residency. I figure at best it will be a tiny asterisk on a residency app, but on the other hand, it's only a weekend course.
Any docs or med students care to weigh in?
