Hey guys first of all I am sorry if I am posting this at the wrong place I am new to this site.
I am entering my second year of undergrad this fall and am going to take on Ochem. It is currently one of, if not the hardest course at my school (UGA) and I know it will be very time consuming. With that said, I am very interested in obtaining an EMT-B as soon as possible because my long term goal is to get into PA School. Most schools require 2000 hours of patient care and I need to hop on it as soon as possible. Keep in mind I am not into EMT just for PA; It seems like something I would really enjoy and I will be able to see if medicine is really for me. My dilemma is that I dont think I can take on EMT classes with my workload. I can take it next summer but I want to do it sooner. I was thinking Spring because by then I will be prepared for Ochem 2 and I wont have to worry about football season lol. Do you guys think Spring is possible? Also, how hard will it be to find a part time EMT opportunity while being full time pre med? I appreciate any advice to help me create a clear path for my future as I am very lost right now. Thanks!
