Wow, thanks for these. It's greatly appreciated!

Thanks for all the help and suggestions I have researched all the things I needed, and will definitely be doing some further review and reading on the more major conditions I will see. :D

As for where I am getting my information from. Most I am getting from their respective organizations websites. Ie. mssociety.ca

Perhaps I miss-worded my post. Basically Im looking to get an overview of each. Im not really concerned with current treatments and how exactly each affect the body at this stage. More so that if a patient says "I have _____" I can go "Oh, thats has an effect on _____ so that _____ they are...

Whoops, my bad Thanks though, never would have thought to add Münchausen's and Bipolar.

Hello, I am currently on summer break, and feel that it is great time for me to get caught up some of the areas which my schooling may have not touched on. For a background, I'm an EMT in Alberta, currently taking my EMT-Paramedics course. What I am looking to do is create a list of...

From zero to hero north of the border, it's probably going to run you $20,000 minimum. Then there is the cost of living while on practicum, which will run you anywhere from free (if you have people you can stay with) to upwards of $5000-$6000. Other costs such as licensing exams, registration...

I never had an entrance exam, but that was also 4 years ago. Personally I would not look too deep into EMT information. They want to see that you are a competent EMR, and that you can use your critical thinking skills. After all, they cannot hope to test you on things that have not been...

Thanks Tim

Thanks for the info, I didn't know you could obtain BoHS through SAIT. Sadly, from what I've heard SAIT has been having some..."issues" as of late and its quite frankly turned me off from wanting to go there. I have spoken to MHC on quite a few occasions, it does seem as though they have made...

Most Ive heard head to the states as they make quite a bit more money and are in more demand. Also, some transfer into the Canadian Forces, but they are still attempting to figure out what rank and pay they will be giving them. As far as exact hospitals and departments that are currently hiring...

Thats true also. Lets just hope they open more PA programs around the country Thanks for the input fortsmithman

That is one of the things I did like about MHC as well. I can also use this degree to transfer over to the RN program at University of Calgary and have that done in two years...should my career plan change in the future that doesn't always hurt.

Hello all, Ive searched and searched and come up with pretty well nil. Im looking to see what the thoughts are on the Paramedic program at Medicine Hat College. As an EMT who had moved to Sask for some work experience, I now feel like it's time to go back and finish up my schooling. I have...
