I would like to become an EMT-A (advanced) before/starting college and would like to do very well in my class. Can I be a part-time college student while doing this without it majorly effecting my "potential" medical school admissions application?
Afterwards, I would like the opportunity to work and go to school. I would plan on working with a public ambulance service while going to school part-time. This would allow me to receive lots of patient contact and to get out in the field of pre-hospital medicine while earning valuable experience. If I were to explain this to a medical school, do you think this would suffice as a sufficient reason?
My current "ideal" speciality is emergency medicine.
In my state EMT's (emergency medical technicians) often work two days a week with (12) or (24) hour shifts. Does anyone have reasons why I shouldn't do this, or any encouragement on why I should procceed like this?
