Which Medical Path To Go While In College?

Well, im in college right now, i want to get into the med field.


i just got my certification in cpr and first aid. which is great, but won't get me farther than a life-gaurding job.


my college offers a EMT-B training program, which i'm kinda leaning towards cause its the closest thing to what i want to do one day (emergency medicine)


but, my school offers co-op internships. one of the spots being down at the local hospitals....


well, what i'm wondering, is for someone like me, who doesn't really have any medical background. to be able to get a internship at the hospital, possibl in the e.r or the i.c.u???? is it even likely





reason i'm asking, is because they would both start at the same time....in the fall, so i could really only do 1 i think. without haveing my brain explode atleast from all the learning crap.





sO i really have a choice between the emt training/job. or a CHANCE to work get a internship, and then hopefully a job.......





idk, some outside thoughts would help





Thanks

First you need to decide at what level do you want to practice. EMT's are great and some do work in our ER. Resoponsibilities include taking vitals, assisting with physical movement of the patient, and phelobotomy(acquiring blood samples). You may want to further your education to increase your responsibilities(and pay!) to EMT-P(paramedic) or even RN! All are Great Fields! Good luck!
