JOIN THE PARAMEDIC ASSOCIATION OF MANITOBA

Professional Associations can have enormous strength and credibility amongst politicians, decision-makers, administrators and managers, educational institutions, media and the public. Members of the Paramedic Association of Manitoba have access to a strong and influential lobbying organization within the province of Manitoba, ensuring they have appropriate representation in decisions affecting the provision of Emergency Medical Services and the future of our profession.

An Association is only as strong as it’s membership…now is the time to act. Strong membership will position the Paramedic Association of Manitoba to successfully pursue professional recognition and self-regulation.
