PARAMEDIC CHIEFS OF CANADA WHITE PAPER
INFORMING THE FUTURE OF PARAMEDICINE IN CANADA
Seeking Nominations:
We are seeking nominations of individuals in Canada who are well suited to speak on behalf of or about the paramedic profession (e.g., valuable or unique insight, history of meaningful contributions, positions of influence).
We encourage nominators to think broadly about who may or should have a say in how paramedicine evolves over the next decade. You may choose to nominate a specific organization or group, however we ask that specific individuals be nominated, if possible.
Your nominations may consider and include, but not be limited to:
• agency type (e.g., ground, air, military, paramedic service – private, public, provincial, municipal, educational institutions, regulators, base hospitals, professional associations, research networks)
• operational roles (e.g., paramedic, paramedic-non-clinical, administrator, paramedic field supervisor or equivalent, educator, dispatchers / communication officers)
• practice setting: (e.g., land, air, rural, specialty (e.g., CBRN), military, community paramedic, international paramedic, emergency department)
• stakeholder group (e.g., directors / chiefs, administrators, regulator, CQI/Standards, researchers / scholars, patient advocate groups, medical director, unions, professional associations)
• geography (i.e., national representation, urban / rural communities)
Please note, there are no certainties that we will contact one or any of the nominations as we have additional criteria for who will be contacted for an interview. In addition, nominating an individual does not guarantee that the nominee will agree to be interviewed. However, our process is dependent on your contributions.
