Looked all over the site and it looks good. Very navigable. One suggestion would be a feedback link on the bottom of the page. Like a footer so that if there are every any dead links or problems with the page then you ncan click on the feedback link and the problem can be explained to the...

Judging by the documentary, if I were him, I would have moved to another country.

If I were you, that's definately what I would do. Give me a heads up before you come. Always good to know someone whenever you come to a new job.

To get licensed in British Columbia to work: Trained outside of Canada? http://www.health.gov.bc.ca/ema/get-licence/outside-of-canada.html Trained and Licensed outside of BC but within Canada? http://www.health.gov.bc.ca/ema/get-licence/licensed-in-canada.html Trained in Canada but...

Posted in another thread and moved to here: I believe anyone licensed from out of British Columbia needs to take a jurisprudence exam through the Provincial licensing body as each Scope of practice is different in each Country and Province. Like I said, we just hired advance care...

Check out the thread I put here. http://www.emtlife.com/showthread.php?t=30068 just so I don't jack my own thread.....ok that sounded bad.

After watching that documentary I can only guess why they have such a "brain drain" of people leaving South Africa. Although I'm sure not all places are like that, my wife's cousin was killed in a car jacking over there 3 years ago. Not one of my top 10 places to live. In British Columbia we...

They just hired 6 new Paramedics from Ontario and Alberta. Paid their moving expenses as long as they signed up for three years. 12 hour shifts. Two days, two nights and then four days off. It's a targeted system so Advance life support only responds to potential advance life support calls...

Interesting while reading some of these threads that there is a lack of employment opportunities for Paramedics. I work in Vancouver, British Columbia and we have a SHORTAGE of qualified Advance Care Paramedics (EMT-P) in the Vancouver area. Good pay, endless amount of overtime, Unionized...

This company promised the province of Ontario the world when they recieved the contract, but judging by the news coverage they have recieved their business dealings have been a little shady.

For a different perspective. The Canadian military medics used to get their initial training within the military. Unfortunately, it then left them with trained medics with really no exposure. They have now moved to have there medics trained in British Columbia and on car practicums are completed...

I applied for the position after hearing about it through a co-worker at the end of April. Unfortunately, the first intake was complete prior to getting my CV in. Damn! Would have offered my first born for the opportunity. (Although I didn't tell my son that). Hopefully, there will be a second...
