Okay, so here's the deal....
I am a 15.5 year old female. I have volunteered at a local hospital for over a year and a half, mostly in the ER. I really would like to become an ER physician and I thought I'd learn a lot by volunteering there. They don't let me do much besides transport patients and change the linens.
I am looking for something that I will do more medically, so I thought I could become an EMT and do that for a living during college and still gain experience. I live in Southeastern PA. I'm interested in an explorer program. How do these generally run? What type of things can they actually do? Is there a cost for being in the explorer program? I heard that they train you w/ CPR, first aid and possibly EMT later, does that cost you?
I appreciate any and all of the responses I may recieve.
Thanks!
