I am a 16 y/o high school junior in NJ. I took the EMT-B course in Paramus over the summer, and am now volunteering at my local ambulance corps and loving every minute of it. I am also a very good student (GPA ~ 97/100, 2220 SAT, currently enrolled in 3 AP classes) and have a (remote) chance at playing baseball in college.
I hope to go to medical school, and feel that the paramedic course would offer me several advantages including patient contact/experience, practical knowledge that would be useful in medical school etc, and also a job after college were I to not get into medical school.
What I'd like to know is this: Is it feasable (has anyone done it?) to be enrolled full-time as a student in college and take a paramedic course at a community college on the side? Any insight/perspective would be appreciated.
