How hard/overwhelming would it be to try and take a paramedic course while going through general courses (the basic three or four year program) at a university?
"Studies of advanced Napping with lab"
You can't take anything else while in the EMT program. They're in classes or doing clinicals all day long.
The rest of the time, they're studying for their sklls testing. I don't think there's any time for any other classes.
It's kind of a personal judgement if you ask me. Myself personally would do fine taking a full 4-5 course semester simultaneously with medic school (if thats all i had going on). Some people have to work to put themselves through college/medic school, some people have a family that they put as priority number 1. If you're asking more along the lines of is it physically possible? Absolutely yes, and its a good way to double dip into prerequisites as some accredited Medic schools count for 30 or more college units.
So if you're lucky enough to be the person who doesn't have to work to sustain life, and doesn't have other commitments and responsibilities, by all means you can take both at the same time. Whether or not you pass is up to your ability to learn and study, and nobody can guide you in that other than you.
so minimum you are looking at 27-30 hours per semester. I don't personally know anyone, nor have i ever heard of anyone successfully completing 30 credit hours in one semester.
