emt-b in us, going to school in Canada but don't wanna give up working

pretty much the title.

Ive been working working as an EMT for about a year now but im going to school in toronto to do my undergrad and i really don't want to give up ems. i'm not going to school for paramedicine but I am pre-med and being an EMT has been a great way for me to get clinical experience plus it's just so much fun.

It sucks that they don't have basics in Canada, and the EMR doesn't get you nearly as far as being a basic in the states. I'm not sure where to go from here, but I have until the fall to figure it out and I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone has any ideas. I will definitely be doing EMS during the summers when I am home, trying to think of solutions for the academic year.

I'm considering getting a phlebotomy or medical assisting certification over this summer but it takes away the best part of ems aka being in the field. maybe I'll do fire or something let me know any ideas thank you

edit: is it worth it to go get my paramedic license if i'm going to med school?
