If you want a job working in healthcare, get an EMT certification.

My job has a nurse practitioner in residence. When I asked the director how he got the job working in healthcare as a graduate student, he said "I was an EMT and professors like the Medical Director here would let me shadow whenever I rode with them."<br><br><br>If you want to get your foot in the door for medical school, an EMT certification is a great way to start by earning money working at a hospital, building relationships with doctors who can now be mentors (and a letter of rec). Plus, it's great clinical experience so you can learn the real meaning of "smoke and mirrors" when it comes to medical simulation training...
