Honestly I don't think any of the degrees offered would benefit u if u plan to go into medicine. I might advise that u choose one with a lot of science coursesI planned on becoming a doctor but there is no major for something like that. Which major should I choose IF I go into the Academy?
They have a pretty serious paramedic certification program but @KamsDadQB1 and @Hockey10 are right.I planned on becoming a doctor but there is no major for something like that. Which major should I choose IF I go into the Academy?
Can you elaborate more on this certification program? Also, I know midshipmen receive firefighter training however do they also receive a certification?They have a pretty serious paramedic certification program.
A little bit of a correction: you apply to the EMT program at the beginning of 2nd Tri. It is quite competitive to get in and grades are one of the determining factors. 3.0 GPA after the 1st Tri is pretty much a requirement to get into the program. As @kpmom2013 says, it is very time consuming and you need to be able to maintain your academics above all. It is very rewarding and you get out of it what you put into it. My 2021 has spent thousands of hours at Vigilant firehouse (when they were able to leave the grounds of course) and has gained an amazing skill set and loves the EMT program. He has some incredible stories.It is not paramedic. It is EMT. You decide during INDOC if you want to participate. It is a very time consuming process, but upon completion by the end of your Plebe year, you are certified as an EMT by the state of New York. The EMT's rotate duty hours so there is always someone available. EMT duty cuts down on the number of watches you gave to stand. You will also be voluntold the work as an EMT during another INDOC period.
