SK invests $530K into bursaries for paramedicine students

The Government of Saskatchewan is making a one-time $530K investment into bursaries for paramedicine students throughout the province this year. The bursaries—which will be administered by the Saskatchewan Health Authority—will support Primary Care Paramedic and Advanced Care Paramedic students and new graduates who are committed to a minimum of two years of employment with EMS in SK. The funds will support approximately 58 bursaries. “The Saskatchewan government’s initiative to provide bursaries for the second year in a row for paramedics is a crucial step in continuing to address the pressing shortage of health care professionals in the province,” said Paramedic Services Chiefs of Saskatchewan VP Jessica Brost.
