Second offering of Primary Care Paramedic program to run in January

WHITEHORSE- Community Services Minister Brad Cathers today announced $23,000 in funding support for the Primary Care Paramedic program at Yukon College. This one-time funding from the Government of Yukon has enabled College officials to reverse their decision to cancel the program and allows the seven students registered in the second intake of the PCP program to proceed with their training. Classes will begin in January 2014.

“The Yukon government is very pleased that this program will go ahead in January,” said Minister of Community Services Brad Cathers. “Our offer to assist was made based on our appreciation of how important this program is to the students who are working to develop their skills and knowledge, and our goal to encourage training of health professionals to serve Yukoners.”
