The Paramedics Association of Manitoba (PAM) submitted to the Minister of Health an application for designation as a regulated health profession under Section 156 of The Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA). In response, the Minister of Health has asked the Health Professions Advisory Council (HPAC) "to investigate and advise whether paramedics in Manitoba should be regulated under the RHPA, and if so, what would be the appropriate college, scope of practice, reserved acts, and titles."

New Board Chair effective January 1, 2011
In early November, approaching the end of my third term and tenth year as Chairman of the Paramedic Association of Manitoba, I informed members that I would not be seeking re-election. Subsequently the Association has a newly acclaimed Chair, Ms. Jodi Possia, who will assume the responsibilities of that role on January 1, 2011. Jodi is currently a Winnipeg EMS Advanced-Care Paramedic and an instructor on the Red River College PCP faculty. She has experience in both rural and urban EMS and is also a past-Director of the Paramedic Association of Manitoba.
