The Paramedicine - Primary Care Paramedic Program offered by Red River College is one of only two paramedic education programs in Canada to be recognized by the Canadian Forces. This means students enrolled in the RRC program who may be considering a career as a Canadian Forces medic are eligible for support to offset tuition, and are are able to receive advanced status as a Medical Technician upon graduation.
The Paramedic Association of Manitoba has long been an advocate for a health education model that better prepares graduates to assume greater responsibility for patient assessment and treatment and enables them to practice in a multi-disciplinary health environment. To validate that role and ensure credibility for graduates as they interact with other allied health professionals, PAM made recommendation in our White Paper that government support an education model for paramedics with strong affiliations to other health sciences programs.
The Canadian Forces recognition of the RRC PCP program speaks to the strength and credibility of this education model.
