The Primary Care Paramedicine Program includes mandatory in-person learning experiences each semester. Students should expect a minimum of three Technical Learning Weeks per semester, held on the Fort McMurray campus. These weeks are required and include hands-on labs, simulation, skills practice, and practical assessments. 

Students will also complete ambulance ride-along experiences in terms 1 and 2. In term 2, students will participate in learning activities at a long-term care facility to support the development of patient assessment, communication, and professional interaction skills. 

In the third term of Year 1, students complete a 192-hour introductory practicum, working as part of a paramedic team under supervision. A second practicum is completed near the end of Year 2 and consists of 240 hours of supervised practice. 

Practicum placements will be arranged with consideration of students’ preferred locations whenever possible; however, placement in a preferred location cannot be guaranteed. Students are responsible for all costs associated with practicum participation, including travel, accommodation, meals, and other related expenses. Students are also responsible for transportation and any associated costs required to attend mandatory Technical Learning Weeks on the Fort McMurray campus.
