The Paramedic Association of Canada (PAC) has over 14,000 members from coast to coast. Founded in 1988 as the Canadian Society for Ambulance Personnel (CSAP), PAC represents prehospital practitioners on a national level to promote quality care and development of our profession in the public interest.
Probably best known for authoring the National Occupational Competency Profile (NOCP) for paramedicine, PAC works diligently to represent paramedics on numerous federal initiatives and committees. PAC is currently undertaking a major review of the NOCP, working with regulators and the Federal Labor Mobility Coordinator Group on issues related to inter-provincial reciprocity, considering options for accreditation of EMR education programs, and has identified development of a national examination and registry as priorities within the organization's business plan. And today PAC takes a big step toward fulfilling their very ambitious agenda...they're hiring a Registrar.
The Executive, committee chairs and membership are to be commended for all that PAC has accomplished for our profession and our patients. But the "next steps" would never be realized if we continued to rely solely on volunteers to keep a national association alive.
The posting for this .5 to .75 EFT Registrar position is available on the PAC web site. I anticipate we should see this position filled before we meet in Winnipeg for the 2007 PAC AGM on June 2nd.
