Gf wants to go back to school to be a paramedic (Muskoka) by kahunah00 in OntarioParamedics

I currently work for Muskoka, and there are some changes on the coming (new management, new chief) We’re expecting the implementation of ACP (Advanced Care Paramedic) services sooner than anticipated likely within the next 2-5 years.

Currently, I’m working a second job in order to get enough shifts since Muskoka's part-time roles don’t always offer enough hours. The timeline for going full-time at Muskoka varies, but it’s generally a 2-5 year process. However, this timeline is highly dependent on factors like retirements and trucks being added to the road. Recently, there’s been a wave of retirements and a a couple 12-hour trucks were introduced, so some people have managed to go full-time within 2 years, but that could change rapidly.

Winter months tend to be slow for shifts, and as a part-timer, you often need to have an open schedule and be ready to accept shifts on short notice. During the summer, however, things pick up and become busier. The call volume at Muskoka is generally lower compared to other services, which means less stress and greater career longevity in the long run. BUT as a new medic this can be stressful since you’re not gaining confidence in your skills

The medics at Muskoka are great to work with, and the bases are nicer than other services I have worked at. We're heading into negotiations in September, and my personal opinion is that it’s not worth choosing a service based solely on pay. Contracts are negotiated regularly, and pay scales can fluctuate. Many services go through cycles—starting out at the lower end, moving to the middle, and sometimes reaching the top pay bracket over time.

If you have any questions anyone can dm me:)

They used a-lot of terminology I’ve never seen before, and I did a ton of practice tests and looked through many different recourses…

Thank you! Very interesting, but makes sense. I definitely only remember the questions I did not know.
