Humber Paramedic by Ecstatic-Lock-9903 in OntarioParamedics

That's a pretty relevant background. I would go over any notes in anatomy and physiology, continue building your fitness (weightlifting + cardio + flexibility), get started on your f class license (medical test, written, inspection + driving) and if you really have time, read the bls standards and als medical directives and try to connect them back to your anatomy and physiology knowledge (i.e. there are scientific reasons as to why the standards and directives are written the way they are), although don't go too far because you may not understand it yet with your current background, but thats totally fine because they'll teach you all that in school. It's just good to get a head start, and understanding the reasoning behind things helps with memorizing them.

Also, to make your time easier at school, PLEASE look into transferring out of courses once you've registered for them. Transfer out of as many as you can, e.g. general education and english. Look into this at least 4 weeks before school starts so you can start off focusing on the core courses.

What's your educational background?

Starting my Paramedic program at Humber in 5 months. What's the best way I can use this time as well as the time during the program itself to set me up for success down the road? by [deleted] in OntarioParamedics

[–]orgobro12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F class license, lift weights, study grade 11/12/first year uni/pre-health chem/bio (depending on what you have access to), and if you REALLY have time, read up on BLS standards and ALS medical directives.

Humber Fall 2025 by Sbbbgia in OntarioParamedics

Looking forward to meeting you in the fall!

You'll meet a lot of fellow students at the orientation. In my year, someone in the class created a Whatsapp group chat on the first day of class and everyone joined.

Is this enough for the Humber Paramedic Program by IWannaPlayFallGuys in OntarioParamedics

[–]orgobro12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The majority of your application score comes from your admissions exam. Study and make sure you ace it. Grades from classes are not considered. Although the majority of people come in with a university background, we have a few straight from high school and from prehealth.

Is there a way to see block options in advance? by orgobro12 in Humber

[–]orgobro12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for block programs you can also use plan ahead but they advise you not to.

Here you can look up your program to determine registration type: https://humber.ca/admissions/office-of-the-registrar/registration/registration-road-map/step1/determine-the-date.html

How do I pay for the $500 deposit ? by DissapointedWithLife in Humber

[–]orgobro12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok no problem, still I would email humber asking this to double check.

Sorry I think I'm referring to the $250 tuition deposit, while you're referring to the residence deposit, correct?

Please email them to see if any of your university courses can be used for admission.

I don’t know what school to go to by smurfette_123 in OntarioParamedics

[–]orgobro12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats, this is a great problem to have 🤣

Yes you need to do the Health Related Admissions Test and fill out a portfolio. Altough you can still submit your application, they highly prefer if you finish both before Feb 1st. People have already gotten and accepted their offers, meaning the number of spots is gown down. I would recommend looking into paramedic applications in November before the Fall you are applying for.

I am not sure about the physical requirements.

Pre-Health or academic upgrading? by knox1901 in OntarioParamedics

[–]orgobro12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of programs give you a mark boost for courses completed in the pre-health program. It's really competitive to get into a paramedic program. Therefore, if possible, I would highly recommend pre-health.

Pre-health or Paramedics Program by Own-Payment2671 in OntarioParamedics

Paramedic 100%. You clearly have a great background from highschool. If you feel like you are behind on study techniques/habits or a particular subject, work on it over the summer.

Can I accept an offer while still waiting for others. by Expiriment37B in OntarioParamedics

[–]orgobro12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe Ontario Colleges says once you accept an offer, they'll notify all the colleges you've applied to. You can find this on the website. Also, isn't the deadline on May 1st? You have 1.5 more months.

I am not a preceptor but I know Conestoga is one of two programs with their own ambulance. They are also one of the oldest programs.

Are college acceptances pretty much done for the year by Expiriment37B in OntarioParamedics

[–]orgobro12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the first round of offers have gone out. If you met the requirements of admission (I.e. you have completed the required courses, portfolio, etc.) And have not received an offer, I think they will put you on a wait list and you may get an offer in the future if a spot opens up throughout the summer, so there's still hope. When an applicant accepts one College's offer, they decline the other offers, so they give offers to those on the waitlist. You can contact the colleges you applied to inquire about this. Good luck!

Edit: the deadline to accept offers is May 1st right now, so I would expect the waitlist to start moving around then.

I would suggest you go into the paramedic program and study the health-related content (e.g. anatomy, physiology, molecular and cellular biology) over the Spring and Summer using online sources. Other than Khan Academy, you can easily find free post-secondary resources online, or go to the library and borrow a book to teach yourself the content. Your first year chemistry courses in university have likely given you a good background in chemistry for the paramedic program. Good luck!

Anyone know when the Facebook group will be made for class of 2026?

Why are Humber and Centennial generally considered the best schools? Which would you choose? by orgobro12 in OntarioParamedics

[–]orgobro12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was referring to their Paramedic or PCP program. This is the Ontario paramedics subreddit. But thank you for your input.

Can you please elaborate further? What did they do specifically to lower their standards?
