In the Paramedic program, you will gain the skills and knowledge to practice emergency pre-hospital medical care, and function as an integral member of the health care team, assisting victims of accident or illness, safely transporting patients, and, if needed, continuing emergency treatment after arrival at a health care centre.
Typical employers include non-institutional health services; hospitals; provincial and municipal governments; and manufacturing, mining, and other private sector organizations. The Paramedic program has a 16-week placement, which includes clinical and field placement. The placements are a mandatory component of the program. |
