I think it is great, too. But, in terms of medical skills and knowledge, practice as an EMT-B is barely even medical experience. The only plus I see is being able to develop patient communication skills and developing a provider-patient relationship (things you don't learn in class; you actually have to volunteer/work somewhere to get this experience).
Anyways, don't take this the wrong way. I think it is great you are in an EMT program. You will enjoy the experience. I just hope you actually use the certification and aren't just getting it for resume purposes. That's all.
