Role of the Association

Professional associations play an important role in information sharing, advocacy, public relations and professional development. Alongside regulatory agencies and labor organizations, professional associations form a very important pillar of any profession.

• Support and facilitate continuing education and professional development for all members;
• Promote public and political awareness regarding the profession of paramedicine and our role in health care;
• Keep members informed of current and emerging trends and practices within the profession.
