I had to take a second required EMT course for pre-hospital exposure to get my EMT certificate (not sure if this is the case for everyone else). Can I list this on AMCAS if I did this last spring but plan to continue it through an internship?

List it as what is my question.

Any thoughts????

Can you list it? Sure. Does anyone care? No. It would be better to use that space for actually having a job as an EMT or using your certification in one way. No one is going to care that you took a class.

Be careful with any fire-rescue / EMS certifications you did not actively and meaningfully use in the field. You will spend some precious interview time "vetting" the value to your application.

I worked in EMS at the volly and career level for nearly a decade, both BLS and ALS, and still had a tough time roping it into how it will make me a better clinician. If you list a simple CE class, it needs to REALLY pop / be rare / pretty much what chaim123 said above.
