EMT-P Education

[LoneRider]

In about three years I intend totransfer into the Army National Guard while undergoing the education and training required for an EMT-B, EMT-P and also my FF1 and FF2 training (for better employment prospects) in Central Florida (Daytona Beach/Orlando areas) or Northern Florida (Jacksonville area) and God willing practicing in those areas.

Out of curiosity has anyone ever balanced their medical education with reserve duty?

One of my friends is in PA school now while finishing out his reserve duty. He's managing pretty well. I would argue, too, that PA school is just a tiny bit harder (yes, that's sarcasm) than EMS training.

So it can be done.

Good luck.

If all you are doing is Reserve time and training you should be fine, it is when you try to balance full time work + reserve + medic school

I appreciate the input.

In all likelihood it'll be reserve time and training only, provided I don't wind up deployed at any point in that timeframe.
