The exercise started at 9:30 a.m. and lasted into the early afternoon, led by students in the Paramedic, Pre-Service Fighter Education and Training and Pre-Health Sciences programs.

The stimulation had emergency vehicles on site, and the exercise involved students and volunteers dressed up to appear distressed or injured.

Fleming says the simulation is a valuable, hands-on learning experience for students to apply their knowledge in a realistic scenario.

The program begins in January and will run for four consecutive semesters. Students can apply now.  

Paramedic program students learn in classrooms, laboratories, clinics, and alongside medical professionals in a real-world setting.  

The program also prepares students to write the Advanced Emergency Medical Care Assistant examination (AEMCA). The AEMCA is a provincial test required for all Paramedic graduates who wish to seek employment in the field.  

Last year Fleming students had a 100 per cent pass rate in the AEMCA exam with scores 4 per cent above the provincial average.
