MB invests in expanded paramedic training at RRC Polytech, UCN

The Government of Manitoba has launched several initiatives to expand paramedic training in the province. At Red River College Polytechnic, a new direct-entry Primary Care Paramedics (PCP) program will allow students to complete their training and begin working sooner. MB will be opening 14 new training seats in this program, raising the total number to 40. Additionally, MB has shifted intakes in RRC Polytech’s Paramedicine – Advanced Care program so the program is better aligned with practicum availability. The University College of the North will add 16 additional PCP seats in Thompson, resulting in a total of 32 seats between its campuses.
