Really? Seems odd that in 2010 they would be trialling something that was in widespread use on ROTO 6 (2008-2009). 

What colloid solution is in current use in dismount med bags?

Do you have to write an essay as part of your ROTP application?

Hopefully the issue with the manhole cover will be addressed, but it has been a parade hazard for years. The problem is exacerbated by coming off the usually-Dewey lawn onto the pavement and executing a right turn on the march on parade boots with clickers. Fwiw the guardsman in question was not...

It's about ten years late for me to apply and I've  never worked in a recruiting centre and not familiar with enrollment medical standards. Im also currently on course without ready access to cf medical info resources.  I was asked the question by a classmate who has a family member interested...

I was wondering if anyone has any insights as to whether or not having a history of Grave's Disease will prevent someone from getting into the CF? 

Versed and Midazolam are the same thing. Versed = Midazolam Valium = Diazepam Versed and Valium are trade names for these medications.

How about this landing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0TwL-nmQ64&feature=youtube_gdata_player :)

Here in ottawa most crews are ACP/PCP so ACPs do as many crap calls as everyone else, where someone wants the ambulancetaxi to take them to the hospitalhotel so that the nursewaitress can get them a sandwich

My wife and I are visiting Rome for a week in April.  We're planning on touring the attractions in Rome and Vatican City, but we're also looking at some day trips to other places within a reasonable distance.  I would like to rent a car and drive across to Ortona .  I was wondering if anyone...

Study.  Run. Do lots of pushups.  Take what medical courses you can (St John Ambulance, wilderness first aid etc).  Augment your resume with whatever relevant experiences are available.  Think about plan B in case the trade is closed when you want to apply.  Think about a civillian college...

You will be a college graduate and receive a diploma accordingly, but you will still have to be successful in the licensing process in order to be certified to work as a PCP.  It is important to note that certification and licensing do not always mean the same thing.  For example being...

I'm currently in Fort Knox and connected via WiFi.  $9.95/24 hours or $49.95/30 days.

The AEC is taught at a civilian college, but it is a course developed by and for CF H SVCS TC.  It is a course that has no equivalent in the civilian world.  It is a small, hybrid mix of (mostly) PCP and (a couple of) ACP skills. 

Becoming a reserve medical assistant looks good on the resume for med school applications.  In my experience I would say that is one of the biggest reasons people become reserve medics. 

I saw this thread yesterday morning and ordered the DVD, looking forward to seeing it!

SO ANYHOW...thanks all for your answers to my question!

I had a quick look on the forces recruiting site for the prerequisites to becoming a medic, and they can be found here: http://www.forces.ca/en/job/medicaltechnician-70#info-1 To my knowledge the prerequisites for reg force and reserve medic are the same with the exception of a valid driver's...
