I've got 2400 volunteer hours working EMS for a volunteer fire department here. Will they count as clinical hours, or does that have to be in a hospital? If not, will they count towards anything?
I was a a volunteer EMT at my school for 3 years and worked 2000+ hours. This most certainly counts as clinical experience! Now, I would definitely caution you not to try to include this into your "volunteer" hours if you're going to claim it is part of your clinical work. as well. It's either one or the other.

Ah ok. Yeah being just a basic probably doesn't help. I've been really struggling with the decision to either go right into my biology degree or to go to paramedic school this year, and wait to start biology degree until next year. I would only be able to work as a paramedic for max 4 years though, so im not sure if its worth it to wait another year before starting, Id be another year behind.
