Neo Cortex said:I didn't even know the CF allowed people to become PA's. Neat!A lot of colleges will give you PLAR for your CF experience as well, and then after you've done a few courses you can transfer to University and get a degree. It's a bit more work but it will leave you with a practical diploma, a theoretical degree, and functional work experience to boot.

Hatchet Man said:The CF is practically the ONLY employer of PAs in the whole country. I THINK some places out in remote locations/praries are starting to employ them but I am not to sure. The McMaster PA program just started its first semester this september (don't know about U Man).
Neo Cortex said:No thread hijacking intentioned: What's the difference between a PMed Tech and a Med Tech?
PMedMoe said:Med Techs treat patients who have an injury/illness, PMed Tech try to prevent the injury/illness.
At the simplest level, we try to put the Med Techs out of work! ;D
Here's the basic job descriptions. (The PMed one is from the US Navy but it's pretty much what we do):
Med Tech
PMed Tech
Also, PMed Tech is not a direct entry trade, you have to be qualified QL5 Med Tech before you can apply for OT. On the last PMed QL5 course, they accepted QL3 qualified Med Techs with 36 months service but I'm not sure if that will remain the same for subsequent courses.
