Do you know when the QS / TP for the new ATCIS-Basic / ATCIS-Intermediate / ATCIS-CP / qualifications will be coming out? MC

This attitude will serve you well in your career in the RCMS as a Med Tech... good on you!  Remember, you are getting paid this time while going to school whilst concurrently earning pensionable time... it is a pretty good life. Help those that are struggling with you existing expertise as these...

Interesting.  When I did my command course to become a CO it was noted that CO's had the authority, right, privilege and responsibility to issue orders, direction, unit policy, protocols or procedures as long as they are not manifestly unlawful, unethical or immoral. You may also want to look at...

That is the rub.  It is not the members Med Cat, it is the CAF's Med Cat.  It is the members medical information (clinical condition) but the Med Cat is an occupational health and employment tool that is owned by the machine not the member. There still should have been some discussion between...

I will take a swing at this.  Someone with more recent / extensive CDU time feel free to jump in.... So someone has high blood pressure.  The question that needs to be asked is... does this members high blood pressure: 1. Restrict their geographic employment 2. Restrict their occupational...

Hop on the DWAN.  On the CMP // CF H Svcs Gp page you will find a policy page.  They are all in our policy repository.  Cheers, MC

A T-Cat is limitations. It indicates for a temporary amount of time how the CAF can employ the member geographically (the G-factor), occupationally (the O-factor) and with respect to aircrew duties (the A-factor).  The CAF can then use the limitations with vision, hearing and colour vision...

As an HCA you could pretty much serve anywhere we have a notable Health Services footprint.  We have at least one HCA at each CF H Svc C (Base Medical Clinic) across Canada and in all four field units (Edmonton / Petawawa / Valcartier). We also have them in all three Health Service Group...

This time I was not lecturing while on duty as a military officer.  I was hired as a contractor to give some lectures whilst on annual leave as part of a professional development / training update. There were some Toronto medics present, although not hosted by TPS.    That being said, I have...

I just lectured on this topic about two weeks ago to a group of paramedics (some tactical, some wanting to be tactical, some not).  It is the second time I gave the lecture, the first time about two years ago.  The thesis of my lecture is that in tactical medicine / tactical medical situations...

Nobody here will be able to give you the definitive CFRC answer... you will need to contact your recruiter to do that. What I can tell you is that it was the former two Surgeon General's intent to ensure that all Med Tech, regardless of entry stream were qualified, once, as a PCP in a...

Staff does not equate to capability.  Understanding that this sub-sub-sub unit sized RCEME unit would maybe more robust than your local Res F Svc "Bn", would you be able to effectively employ them in order to achieve an effect (capability?).  Assuming the effect you want to achieve is: -...

I guess the question I would ask is... If your unit was given 4 x Pte / Cpl Veh Tech and 1 x MCpl Veh Tech that are trained in basic SMP / MilCOT vehicle repair (plus double the regular entitlement of Class A days) as well as 1 x MRT (Light Vehicle) (and/or wecker) and a general tooling and...

As a Jr Med Tech math is mostly used to calculate drug dosages, oral, injectable and IV.  For instance,  Dilantin, 0.1 g is ordered by the Medical Officer to be given through a nasogastric tube. Dilantin is available as 30 mg / 5 mL. How much would the QL5A Med Tech administer? Or...

Not a problem. The HRD concept is unique.  It is about 40/50/10 General Duty Nursing Officers (GDNO) and Critical Care Nursing Officers and Perioperative Nursing Officers. Generally postings are three years and you ideally should only do one or two tours in your career as a NO in an HRD...

Generalist Nursing Officers (aka General Duty Nursing Officers) are employed in five general locations: 1) Canadian Forces Health Services Centre (aka, the base medical clinic) 2) 1 Canadian Field Hospital High Readiness Detachment (Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax) 3) The Canadian Forces...

It is interesting to note that the final composition of 77 (UK) Bde will be 53% Reserve (235 personnel). http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2015-02-25/225426/ MC

And the last installment MC ---START--- --- • What do 3x IA Coys do? --- I think the Army / Res F has done a poor job at developing the concept of Influence Activities. These organizations would do psychological operations, deception, public affairs and CIMIC for the Div. The IA Coy...

The next round of answers.  More to follow as he missed some of the questions and I reminded him. I have done a little editing for format and clarity. MC. ---START--- ---- • What does a PRes Postal Coy do? ---- A Res F Postal Coy: 1) provides qualified postal clerks / officers (?) to...

So I got the first batch of answers with the promise to have the rest tomorrow.  Here is what I have: ---START--- Indeed, this order of battle seems predicated on providing what? Could it mobilize a what? How many individual augmentees could it produce for a prolonged operation with several...
