Continuing Education (CE) for License Maintenance

CE is required by all Paramedics for their annual license maintenance requirements and we hope to facilitate that by providing the following interesting courses listed below. The Paramedic in Industry course may be of special interest to those Paramedics that may also want to work as an Attendant in industry without going through the entire WorkSafe BC Occupational First Aid (OFA) programs. Paramedics with either an EMR or PCP license may also see the Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) course as valuable for those who want to work in the oil and gas industry in BC or Alberta.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

The deadline for CME credits is March 31st 2010.
