Opinion on fast-tracked EMT-B courses

I'm currently a certified Wilderness First Responder and am interested in EMT-B and WEMT training. The same school that I received my WFR training from offers an EMT-B intensive course which is full time for three weeks and requires 24 hours minimum of clinicals in addition. I would actually be taking the 3+1 format they offer which is the full WEMT (EMT-B for three weeks, WUMP for one week), but I'm mostly curious about the EMT-B part as I've already gone through the WFR training. The course prepares you for NC EMT-B and NREMT certifications. I actually live in GA, but my understanding is that they have reciprocity.

I am wondering what the general opinion is of these fast tracked courses versus a more traditional schedule. I'm farily used to fast paced studying as I'm about to graduate from college, but do people find they have trouble with retention with these courses? I'm definitely an autodidact, so I'd have no problem going over the material before, or reviewing after. I just don't want to find myself frozen when dealing with a patient.

As for my motivations, I've been interested in trauma medicine since I was a little kid and want to help people. I also want to be always prepared in case I find myself assisting in a medical emergency when it's just me. That was my primary motivator for WFR training: it's not like there are many doctors in the backcountry.

Even though I'm about to graduate college, I'm not really sure what I want to do with my life. I'd like to try out being an EMT for a year or so to see how I like it. If I like the medicine field that much, I'll continue my education. If not, at least I'll have training to be able to react in emergencies, especially while in the wilderness.
