About this programme
Elevating leadership while mastering advanced paramedic care. The one-year Advanced Care Paramedic Ontario College Graduate Certificate program is accredited by EQual Accreditation Canada and adheres to the National Occupation Competency Profile for advanced care paramedic practice. It is designed to educate current Primary Care Paramedics (PCP) in all aspects of advanced care paramedicine. Build on your existing knowledge and skills to develop greater critical-thinking processes, increased leadership qualities, and master advanced skills in respiratory care, cardiac care, pharmacology, trauma care, obstetrics and pediatrics care and medical emergencies. The program is comprised of three components: a didactic and scenario practice portion which is scheduled three days per week for 14 weeks; a hospital clinical practicum which is approximately 200 hours spread over the second and third semesters; and a preceptorship (672 hours paramedic practicum) which is scheduled over a 17-week period. Students must take a comprehensive written examination and oral board examination with the program medical director at the end of the practicum. The authority to practice as an advanced care paramedic student (ACP) is contingent on being in good standing with a Paramedic Service (if applicable) and upon certification by a medical director.
