It's been a while since I posted anything on SDN... Just recently got back from Iraq. Well, I will be leaving the Air Force in March of 2006. I plan on moving to Orlando to finish by Bachelors at UCF along with all the pre-med science classes. My question was about clinical/volunteer experience. I was thinking about trying to get a job in a doctors office. Perhaps becoming a CNA or EMT-b and using that training to become a pseudo Medical assistant type. Just thinking of a part-time position where I could work a few hours a day and attend classes afterward. I figured this would be a good way to earn some extra cash to help support my family and also give me clinical type experience and plenty of shadowing opportunity. I think this would be better than doing the part-time at Walmart (or anywhere else) and also make time for volunteering at a hospital (or anywhere else) plus setting aside a few days a month to shadow physicians. Would CNA or EMT-b certs be helpful in getting this type of employment? I like my idea because I'd have my weekends for family/studying/One Guard weekend a month. Any ideas or other suggestions would be great. Thanks. 🙂
