Local students wanting to become a paramedic can now train closer to home thanks to both an Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) course and a blended Primary Care Paramedic program (PCP) that will be returning to Castlegar.
The EMR course lasts two weeks and allows individuals to license for work as an entry-level paramedic. It will take place June 7-18 (M-F); the registration deadline is May 31 and there are no pre-requisites. The PCP program is 8.5 months.
It starts September 17, 2021 and runs Friday through Sunday every second weekend. Students completing this training can license to work as a Primary Care Paramedic and provide an intermediate level of care. Applications are being accepted now and close August 3.
