So how will the MedA pers be employed then?  How will their duties and roles be changed? How will their scopes of practices be limited? These details are still being worked out but as of right now some of the roles envisioned are: Bison Ambulance Drivers and backfill in clinics for deployed reg...

"given exposure to extreme circumstances"  This is also available to Nurses in the CF.  (As extreme as inside the wire in Afghanistan can be classified)  Those that have returned speak very highly of the experience they have undergone.  Consider both options I would suggest.

As it stands: 1) Those current med techs that don't hold a PCP license will revert back to Med Assistants.  Those med techs in reserve units that hold a PCP license (and have been certified by the area surgeon) will remain med techs.  Reserve units are now allowed to recruit personnel for both...

Anyone help me with this please?  I am lucky enough to have all me CF 896's for the last 22 years of service I have completed from 1985 until Mar 2006 minus one year in the middle for some reason. What do I use to find my total pay for that year when I am not allowed to use my T4 slips (which...

"For whatever selfish reasons, the banks provided increased convenience and service.  Now I see it apparently is their just reward that we demand they provide it for free.  There's an important lesson here to be learned by entrepreneurs." Funny!!!

n update.  As of the 19th of January we now have 5 personnel from 12 Fd Amb training up to be Bison drivers for TF 1-08.  It also looks like we might be sending two PCP medics as well for the Role 3 facility and our Adjt as a CIMIC officer. ;D  Now if we can just get them to take a new...

I would say you may get BMQ written off if you got in before 5 years had gone by.  In addition most of your QL3 will be written off but you will have to do some portion it again as 1989 was a long time ago and the training has changed greatly. (I think that wasjust a few years after I took the...

While it doesn’t seem to be in vogue to discuss the expansion of the Medical Reserve to meet our current and future international and domestic operational needs, that is exactly what I would like to make an argument for right now.  I would like to create a discussion that focuses on our current...

Key to this will be the Res Field Ambs being being involved at the start of the planning process and put forward realistic, relevant structure proposals that builds upon the strengths many of the units currently have and accounts for the potential recruiting base and number of potential clients...

Wow.  Send off a little missive and it turns into a full on discussion.  To clarify.  1) I believe the DRIVER positions were given to HSG as the Army said they could not fill them. I can confirm this after the break if anyone is dying to know. 2) I have no idea who will be crew commanding. ...

Well it has finally happened.  We have asked for it for the last decade and 1 HSG came through.  We have 3 Medics (2 others on standby)  going off on the 15th of Jan to start the Bison training for Afghanistan.  Now we just need to follow through on what we have asked for and make sure our 3...

Medic's of the far far West got theirs.

Move to Vancouver.  We will take you in a heartbeat. ;D

With the stand up of Pacific Command in 6 months (so I have heard),  will the medical units in BC report to a medical command in PACCOM?  As I understand it the Commander in a given region has command of all assets in a given area.

Further research into buying back past service in public service pensions indicates that you must pay the original amount and the interest.  It is the interest that can be really expensive part especially when you are buying back service from 15-20 years ago.  Looks like a financial planner is...

I think if read the text carefully we will be buying back service at a rate probably no more than 4.3%.  I am making an educated guess as the rate for Jan 1 2006 starts at 4.3%. (para 14)  I also understand that the government will be contributing its portion (which is quite generous in relation...

Zombie, I would say if you are applying for the Reserves and have no medical trg or background and are not enrolled in any of those programs, your chances of getting in are between slim and none. As for the Regular Force I am not sure.

This has changed.  Reserves are now Medical technicians as well. R737 I believe.

Just to let you know. Unless you have a medical background, (paramedical, nursing or MD) or are enrolled in these fields, the reserve med trade is effectively closed for VOT or new enrollment as of 1 Jan 2005. The delay may be because of this new policy. Good Luck
