I'm currently finishing a degree in engineering and plan on working for a year before continuing onto a masters in biomedical engineering. I thought of the idea of taking EMT night classes during this time at my local CC and obtaining the training required to become a volunteer. I've always wanted to have some basic medical training, plus I've always had a longing for volunteering my time to help people in a positive way and I figure this would be perfect. I do not plan on making this a career goal or using this for med school or anything, just something I could do limited part time as a volunteer.
For someone that would eventually be working a full-time job, is this something I could do maybe a couple of nights a week or over the weekend? What are the minimum hours? Normal hours? Also, what is the usual age range for this kind of thing? I'll be in my 30's (though in good shape). Any other insights would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the ignorance and thanks for the replies!
