You’re trained to save lives. To be a first-responder. To manage life-threatening emergencies with expertise and skill. Some emergencies require more from you. More skill and expertise. More training.
As a career paramedic, you know the challenges that face you 24-7. With the Advanced Care Paramedic Graduate Certificate Program, you’ll build on your already impressive skill-set by learning how to better manage life-threatening situations. As well, you’ll increase the range of skills you can offer to employers, and the level of care you can offer those in need. More skills. More lives saved. More diverse employment opportunities.
Class sizes are limited to maintain small student-faculty ratios, and provide you with the highest quality, most advanced paramedic training available.
Your classes will be small, providing access to cutting-edge medical technology. You’ll move from the classroom, to the lab. From the hospital to the field. With a hospital clinical placement, you’ll broaden your knowledge of acute care areas, such as adult and pediatric emergency, intensive care, obstetrics, operating room and pediatric emergency.
And because this is a Graduate Certificate and Canadian Medical Association (CMA) accredited, your critical thinking and decision making will be challenged, nurtured and put to the test. You’ll complete the program poised, experienced, and ready to face any challenge that comes your way.
Take your lifesaving training to the next level. Someone is counting on you.
