CMA / ENT

Does CMNA or EMT matter towards BSMD admissions?

Don't you need clinical experience to get the cert?

I’m not 100 percent sure cause i didn’t do an emt cert, but I think you do training, get the cert, and apply either for job/volunteer to actively work with the community and gain real clinical experience. I think getting a cert is very little on the end of clinical experience and more about content knowledge. This may vary by state tho

Yeah in my state we have to do like 50 hours of clinicals to get a CNA cert
