2 years/4 semesters Fall Ontario College Diploma Morningside<br />
Recently, the union representing Toronto paramedics has raised concerns about a shortage of<br />
paramedic hiring in the region, making this an in-demand career. To prepare you, this program will<br />
cover emergency, medical, trauma and psychological situations. Besides physical care, you will also<br />
learn to provide support to people in crisis by drawing on a unique combination of analytical and<br />
professional therapeutic skills. To complement hands-on training in advanced simulation labs, you<br />
will participate in mock disaster exercises and extensive on-the-job learning through field and clinical<br />
placements. After graduation, you will be eligible and prepared for the Ministry of Health exam for<br />
Advanced Emergency Medical Care Assistant (A-EMCA).<br />
