Why become a PCC member?

Paramedicine in Canada is undergoing perhaps the most significant change in the history of the profession.

This change includes:

• the creation and evolution of community paramedic programs
• the development of self-regulating professional colleges
• a rapid advancement in the quality, depth, and breadth of education and research, including a move to baccalaureate degrees
• a focus on supporting the mental health and resilience of our staff
• consistent challenges with off-load delay
• significant operational pressures associated with increasing call volumes
• demands for new models of mobile integrated health care
• the impacts of the opioid overdose crisis

This significant change requires leaders who are innovative, creative, bold, and connected to a network of peers across the country – this is what the Paramedic Chiefs of Canada provides.
