Train in all aspects of pre-hospital emergency care, including patient assessment and treatment of medical and traumatic emergencies, for a career in emergency medical services.

The Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) program provides education and training for pre-hospital care professionals, preparing graduates to work within a multi-disciplinary healthcare team. This program is taught by experienced practitioners and covers all aspects of pre-hospital emergency care.

Areas of study include patient assessment, diagnostics, critical interventions, and treatment, including Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), and International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) assistance.

This program is competency-based and provides applied theory as well as hands-on learning through high-fidelity human patient simulation education in the Centre for Advanced Patient Care Simulation as well as during practicum rotations. Working under the direct supervision of a preceptor, practicums occur in both hospital or urgent care and ambulance settings.

If you want to pay out of your nose to try and learn from instructors who can barely speak english let alone interface with you in figuring things out, this is the school for you. What a worthless program and diploma-mill of an institution. Spend your time and money pursuing things closer to you than the pigeonholes places like this would have you shoved inside.

Half-way through course, and still no resolution on 360 email. No one available to talk to, and contacts noted in email are never available. Was like this when I registered last year. You'd think I'd learn.
