What is a Paramedic?
Paramedics are licensed healthcare professionals capable of assessing the needs of patients and providing medical treatment in emergent and non-emergent situations. Paramedics provide care to patients in out-of-hospital, inter-hospital and community settings.
How Do You Become a Paramedic?
Paramedicine is a rewarding and demanding career, which requires both in-class and hands-on learning. In Newfoundland and Labrador, the College of the North Atlantic offers a 68-week diploma in Primary Care Paramedicine. This program prepares potential paramedics to provide pre-hospital care in accordance with national standards for paramedics.
