meaganp22 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I was just wondering, I started volunteering at an ambulance Corp but my hours haven't been consistent each week. How would I put this for healthcare experience? Also I just became an emt and it required 250hrs of training hands on, can I put this in my healthcare experience as well?? Thanks for the help it is much appreciated! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINO Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hello, I work in EMS as well and found my hours varied quite a bit. CASPA calculates your hours by multiplying the amount of hours you work per week by the number of weeks. I used the duration of my experience and adjusted the number of hours I worked per week until it matched closely the total number of hours. Basically an average. A lot of programs won't count hours obtained during training (clinicals, ride alongs, etc), however if your program does, I would make it a separate entry from your volunteer ambulance experience under Patient Care Experience and let the schools determine whether or not to count it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
