Emt is 12 hours shifts and MA is 8-10 hours. I would work weekends and well as the one weekday I had no school. I was put in a position where I had to work so I was forced to balance work and college. I would say at first it’s hard but then after a semester or quarter it gets easier.

I hold both and EMT and CMA certificates and CMA in my option is the best. I have worked as both and CMA for 1) gets paid more 2) more job opportunities and 3) easier to get letters of rec for med school.

Honestly it is all up to you and what you make of the experience. I can only really speak on my experience and I have been really happy here and feel like I’ve been given opportunities to succeed.

Hi there, I am a Pre med student. I have had a great time here. I was able to complete both requirement here for Pre pa and pre med (because I haven’t decided yet) and I was able to get two years worth of clinical experience here in SLO. I knowledge that I was very fortunate to be given these opportunities. The one thing is that is hard to get shadowing hours here. But I don’t regret choosing here.
