University College of the North is offering a Primary Care Paramedic Certificate Program.  Instructor Dan Jones explains what students can expect as they learn to become a vital link in the chain of the health care team.  He says you’ll run classroom time from September to April then from there you’ll go on and do your practicum which is usually spread out between The Pas and Flin Flon, you get to do 16 shifts.  He notes it’s a really great learning experience, you get hands on, you get to do everything they just taught you over the last eight months and you get to do it for real.
