Enough to justify having paramedics do hospital rounds every week like MD's? Because that was the point I was emphasizing. If so, I would love to hear them.

Thanks for the insider info.

This is great. But I must ask - when will the education opportunities start coming out? Which universities have PA programs in the works? And what will the requirements be... previous bachelors degree? Or will they launch a Bachelor program specifically for the PA? I could see it being a...

I don't think anyone would disagree. Currently physicians that work for the CF do hospital days once per week to maintain their skills and knowledge. I think the army is more interested in drilling the stuff into your head, and then relying on you to keep up to date with it, practice in your...

True enough. But the CCP course is a tricky one anyways. Currently only one school is accredited by the CMA to teach it, Ontario Air Ambulance, and I believe they are taking advantage of that by charging something rediculous, like over $20,000 for it, and 1 year worth of time. It all depends...

Interesting replies. In regards to the PCP certificate, I am under the impression that the PCP is a nationally recognized course, and so is ACP and CCP. In 2001 the NOCP was set to have four levels: EMR, PCP, ACP and CCP. So anyone completing the PCP course at the JIBC will be eligible to work...

Sorry I made that unclear. Obviously the CF has lots of trades which do not have transferability over to the civilian side. But those are mainly jobs on the CF which have no real world equivelancy (Balistics, Infantry, etc.). Many of the jobs which do have real world equivelances (Miltary...

I think the one thing that seperates medics from other professions is that you truly need to commit to it for the life of your career in the army. The training you recieve it seems is not transferable to the civilian side, which has me considering not joining as a medic. I know some people might...

PQLUR you the man. But I need more information. I would like to even gather enough information so I can understand the whole system. So if I understand you correctly, you are saying that Reserve QL3 and RegF QL3 are the same, except that RegF QL3 has the PCP? So I could get Reserve QL3 and then...

For a couple of years now I've been considering joining the army and have finally decided to just do the reserves as I can't commit to reg. The reason is I am going to be enrolling in university soon at Royal Roads (it actually used to be a military college but that is just a coincidence). So I...

Thanks for the replies all. Yeah I was aware of Fd Amb 11 in Victoria which is where I would be applying. I am on the other end of Vancouver Island though, over 4 hours away (400+kms). So if I were in this unit, would I bet given a gas allowance in addition to my pay to help me get there...

Hi all, I am interested in joining the army reserves, and possibly one day the Reg Force, as a Medical Technician. I currently work as a Paramedic in BC. I graduated with the PCP/IV certification from the Justice Institute of BC (the same 13 week program that Reg Force QL3's go thru). I also...
