School: Fanshawe College

Program： Advanced Care Paramedic

Program Description:

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.

Advantages:

students will participate in interactive and challenging classroom, laboratory, hospital clinical and field placement learning environments. Hospital clinical placement will have the students developing their skills and knowledge in acute care areas (e.g., adult and pediatric emergency departments, operating rooms and labour and delivery). Due to the invasive nature of the skill sets being learned, class size will be limited and student-faculty ratios will be small.
