Yesterday (Sept 15), the Honourable Uzoma Asagwara, Minister of Health, Seniors and Long-Term Care visited the Notre Dame Campus to meet with nearly 80 students in the Advanced Care Paramedicine (ACP) and Primary Care Paramedicine (PCP) programs.
The Minister was greeted by students in the new paramedicine lab located in Interdisciplinary Health and Community Services Simulation Centre. They had the opportunity to thank students for their commitment to their training and calling to this important health profession, and hear questions from students in the audience.
This year, RRC Polytech is proud to welcome a record intake of 40 students into the PCP program - nearly half of which entered the program via direct-entry from high school. They were all in attendance to meet the Minster, along with 32 year two students who will graduate in winter 2026 and seven students in the ACP program.
Thank you to the School of Health Sciences and Community Services, the Paramedicine faculty and staff, and the students who supported this meaningful visit.
