Nova Scotia will cover full tuition costs for more than 460 people who want to become a primary care paramedic or emergency medical responder.
In return, paramedics must work in the province for four years and emergency medical responders must work here for two years.
Health and Wellness Minister Michelle Thompson said as the province’s population grows, so too will the demand for emergency health services. We must be proactive now and use every tool at our disposal to increase the number of people on the ground who can respond to an emergency.
This recruitment initiative includes:
– about 180 emergency medical responders; investment of $1.9 million to cover tuition
– about 150 new primary care paramedics; investment of $3.58 million
– about 135 primary care paramedics, currently in training or recent graduates, whose tuition was already 50 per cent covered by the Province in exchange for three years of service – the Province will cover the other half of tuition for one additional year of service; investment of $1.35 million.
There are currently 14 emergency medical responders and 692 primary care paramedics working in Nova Scotia.
