Value of Membership

A Professional Association is a synergistic group that can have enormous strength and credibility amongst politicians, decision-makers, administrators and managers, educational institutions, media and the public. Healthcare associations represent a collection of professionals who work towards the common goal of promoting and improving the medical profession they are associated with and the care they provide.

Becoming a member of a professional association should be viewed as a career choice. It is part of what being a professional is all about. It may sound old-school to some, but a professional identity begins with joining your professional association. Alongside regulators and labour organizations, associations are vital to a strong professional practice.

The Paramedic Association of Manitoba is a voluntary membership professional association for paramedics and emergency medical responders licenced in Manitoba. Members of the Association have access to a strong and influential advocacy organization ensuring appropriate representation in decisions affecting the provision of out-of-hospital and the future of the paramedic profession. P.A.M. assists its members by providing resources, support, information and opportunities that might not otherwise be available.
