Emilea PA C Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 This question is more focused towards those reponsible for choosing medic students.... What are you looking for in a statement of intent to enroll? What do you not want to hear/read?
Ridryder 911 Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I am looking for those that have demonstrated that they have a desire to go into EMS. This can be by taking prerequisites, such as anatomy, physiology as well as English, medical terminology courses, etc.. they have discussed the pros's & con's of EMS, and truly investigated it as a career with knowledge of what the job performances are as well as usual requirements and duties. Not somebody that has watched a few TLC shows & decided to take the course. What I don't want to hear : I am doing this to get a job with the F.D. I am doing so I can get through nursing school faster I am doing this get into Med., P.A., schools To be a Flight Paramedic or better to be a helicopter pilot ? My (insert family member) has heart problems & I wanted to know what to do Finally, I failed the Fries portion at McDonald's and didn't know what else to do R/r 911
Emilea PA C Posted December 29, 2006 Author Posted December 29, 2006 So, I probably shouldn't include the fact that I failed Milkshakes 101 at Dairy Queen?? On a more serious note, thanks Rid!
iMac Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Another really interesting post. Good points Rid.
AZCEP Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 What I look for when accepting applications for students is quite simple. Every line/box/area on the application is filled completely/legibly, and all of the supporting documentation is included. If you are making a "statement" of your intentions, it should probably sound like a introduction letter. Just by filling out the application, it is pretty clear what you "intend" to do.
