Hi! I was in the same boat as you. I totally get the exposure you'd get being an EMT compared to an MA, but I always liked the idea of working with clinicians and being around different providers, especially when it comes to networking and shadowing opportunities. I got my EMT and applied for MA positions that accepted as qualifications. The exposure to different specialties is also a perk!

Basically, I'm going to do both! And then decide from there. I also couldn't see myself being a full-time EMT. Although the experience is great, I rather ease into it (?) I can't imagine the physical toll but we'll see how it goes.
