Hello folks,
I am curious if anyone else is in my position. This summer I am completeing my EMT-B cert. Next year I am finishing my last year of law school, and my plan was to work as an ER-tech or EMT on the weekends until I apply to medical school.
I am getting my EMT cert because I want clinical experince before I apply to medical school. Which will be in about 3 years. Is an EMT cert worth it just to work 3 years? From what I have read, it seems that being an EMT is the only real way to get some decent clinical experince.
Upon graduation I want to work parttime while finishing up my medical school prereqs. Maybe 10 credits a quarter. or so. Is anyone else out there in my shoes? Do you know whether many hospitals hire many parttime ER-techs? I do not have time to work full time. but if I could work maybe 20-25 hours a week while going to school that would be nice, I appreciate your responses.
