Introduction
Paramedic Academy
The Paramedic Academy of the Justice Institute of BC trains paramedics
and other health professionals. Twenty years ago, the Academy began
training all BC Ambulance Service paramedics. Our training facilities and
programs have expanded and we now also train emergency medical
personnel across Canada.
Paramedic Programs are accredited by the Canadian Medical Association
and by its Conjoint Committee on Accreditation of Allied Health Care
Professions. The Academy's programs extend internationally, with training
of emergency personnel in countries such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan
and the United Arab Emirates.

Professional Health Programs (PHP)
The Paramedic ;\cademy's PHP division provides professional development
courses for physicians, nurses, paramedics and other healthcare
professionals. Serving a wide variety of emergency medical personnel for
over 20 years, our courses are practice-based and cooperative. Participants
learn through lectures, small group scenarios and rigorous hands-on
practice. Our instructors, skilled practitioners themselves, provide a
cooperative learning environment where information is shared and the
contribution of all participants is encouraged.

Primary Care Paramedic
The Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) certification program lays the groundwork for a challenging and rewarding career in para medicine. Designed to meet industry's changing needs, our PCP program allows its licensed graduates to work in a variety of prehospital emergency care environments. The program is 17 weeks (full time) or 10 months (distributed learning) in length and is
offered both part- and full-time in communities throughout the province.

Advanced Care Paramedic
The Advanced Care diploma program builds on the experience gained as a Primary Care Paramedic, to develop the knowledge
and skills to deliver advanced life support. This 41-week (3-semester) program is delivered using a combination of independent
study and classroom sessions, as well as hospital clinical and on-ambulance practicums.

Continuing Professional Development training - available in your region
Continuing Professional Development courses are now being offered at more sites across the province.
A number of continuing professional development courses, previously only delivered at the New Westminster campus, will now
be available in Cran brook, Kam loops, Parksville, Victoria, and Prince George, in early 2006. With the opening of the JIBC campus in
Kelowna in February 2006, the Academy will begin to offer selected continuing professional development courses at this location
starting in late Spring or Fall 2006.

New Resuscitation Guidelines - November 200s
Updated cardiopulmonary resuscitation {CPR) and ECC {emergency cardiac care) guidelines were released by the Heart and Stroke
Foundation of Canada {HSFC) on November. 28, 2005.
The press release from the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada indicates that the new emergency care guidelines include dramatic
changes to CPR and emphasis on chest decompressions. The most significant change to CPR is to the ratio of chest compressions to rescue
breaths - from 15 compressions for every two rescue breaths in the 2000 guidelines to 30 compressions for every two rescue breaths in the
2005 guidelines. The 2005 guidelines emphasize that high-quality CPR, particularly chest compressions, contributes significantly to the
successful resuscitation of cardiac arrest victims. Studies show that effective chest compressions create more blood flow through the heart
to the rest of the body, thus providing a few critica l minutes until defibrillation can be attempted. The guidelines recommend that rescuers
minimize interruptions to chest compressions and suggest that rescuers 'push hard and push fat' when giving chest compressions. For
further details on the new guidelines visit www.heartandstroke.ca.

..

The release of the new resuscitation guidel ines means that there will be changes to training materials for resuscitation courses offered by
Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada training affiliates. New materials for BCLS/ CPR, ACLS and PALS, that reflect changes made to the
guidelines, will be released throughout 2006. It is not expected that new material for CPR will be released until the Spring, and new material
for ACLS and PALS will be released later in the year.
Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada will conduct a National Resuscitation Conference in Toronto from May 25 - 27, 2006. Instructors and
Instructor Trainers interested in participating in this conference can obtain further information at www.heartandstroke.ca/ CPRconf.
