I\'ve recently applied to schools all over the country.

  I\'ve applied twice before, and unfortunately didn\'t get in; however, I applied the previous two times knowing that I probably wouldn\'t get in due to PCE and my GPA. I\'ve retaken two courses that I made C\'s in (effectively raising my GPA to some extent), as well as started a job as an AEMT. I will start paramedic classes next month.

  My question is, would it be a good idea to begin paramedic training (and possibly not getting as many hands on patient care experience), or attempting to work as much as I can to accumulate more HCE hours, and skipping paramedic school. I\'ve read different opinions on if being an EMT/paramedic helps in being selected, so I was just trying to get a few more. Thanks for the help!

  Edit: thanks for the responses everyone! I have about a month to fully decide, I\'m going to continue to weight out the pros and cons. I believe that EMT-P (paramedic) hours are not inherently more valuable than EMT-B hours, when it comes to PA school applications. What matters more is what kind of patients you are seeing during those hours — 1000 hours of 911 responses is much more valuable than 1000 hours of interfacility transfers (in fact, some PA programs refuse to count transfer shifts as PCE). As a result, I think that if your end-game is being a PA, all other things being equal, paramedic school is a waste of time and money. Spend that time and money on improving your GPA and PCE.

  That said, paramedic school does have other benefits (like higher salary), so if you think that there\'s a possibility that you\'ll give up on getting into PA programs, or that you\'ll spend a substantial amount of time practicing as a paramedic before you start PA school, it might be worth it. In short: if you are an EMT, don\'t go through medic school because you want to be a PA; but if you want to be a medic before you are a PA, go for it. I worked transport and got into school. I talked about it in the interview. I said that I worked as and EMT-B doing medical transport on my resume.

  I got interview offers from some good schools as well. You might want to call up the schools that you are interested in, but I wouldn\'t worry too much about working a transport job where you are on an ambulance and you are using your EMT-B. There were two other guys working transport with me that were trying to get into PA school and they both got in. If you have the grades and the GRE score, transport should be fine. If they ask about it in the interview, talk about your first responder experience but don\'t shy away from your transport experience. Transport, in terms of touching patients, working with patients, families, and healthcare professionals from every part of the hospital, long term care, rehab, hospice, etc. Is a great experience.

  The long runs where you are 90 minutes into the middle of nowhere in the back of a truck with someone and it\'s just you with no paramedic intercept and you are working as a basic is a great experience. The runs where you take patients from their home to hospice with the family are runs that EMS does not do and give you a perspective that nobody else gets. Don\'t knock transport. Those hours are just as good as CNA hours and as EMS hours. They are all different - none is better than the other. If you have the grades and the GRE, transport is fine.
