Sure, you can specify anything you want, shows you are keen.  The tasking reality will be based on the needs of the service, your skills and attributes versus those of your peers, a bit of luck, and the whims of the CSMs / RSM when they are moving people about the ORBAT in pre-deployment...

You should note also that the QL3 Med Tech course is changing sometime this Fall.  It is also expected that the RQL3 and RQL4 Med A will follow suit the summer of 2015 to keep pace with the new and improved QL3 Med Tech program.  Adding a bunch of combat medic type stuff (including a chunk of...

Which 50% are arbitrary?  Please, show us your list!  Almost all of them have a great strategic impact on the functioning of the CAF.  The rest are in support of international commitments, or professional development for the GO/FO. Maybe a few of them could be down ranked, but arbitrary.... I...

If you are looking for information on 2 Canadian Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment you can find some information here: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/21741.0 It might be a starting point.  The typists son left and e-mail address and offered (in 2008) to pass questions to his father. Good...

This is super important.  It always amazes me when even experienced soldiers wear the mukluk without the complete system and are cold / uncomfortable.  Also make sure you have two pairs of duffle socks, one to wear and one to dry.  Also be careful when pouring fuels in the cold... especially...

Here we go again new / modified courses for 2013.  List formulation has not changed 1) It is not all inclusive and was compiled throughout the year as the SS was authorized as new or modified.  It does not contain qualification levels and such.  It does not contain SSs that have been deleted. ...

In order of numbers the uniform colour most Nursing Officer wear is army, then air, then sea.  Not that it makes a difference, as mentioned above. Nursing Officers do not do CAP.  The "phased approach to training" is as follows: Basic Military Occupational Qualification Clinical Phase...

You should also be aware that the Reserve Force has a occupation called Medial Assistant - Nursing Assistant.  This is a occupation reserved for LPNs / RPNs and it does not exist in the Regular Force. Not everyone knows about it because it is pretty new.  All Reserve Field Ambulances have a...

As a Med A / Med Tech if your unit is tasked to run a Patient Decontamination Centre you can also get loaded (even as a Pte) on the Casualty Decontamination Course. The course is currently in development and should running as a pilot soon in a field unit near you.  You will also get some CBRN...

HSOSOC replaced the Basic Field Health Services Course.  It is designed for all CF H Svcs Gp Officer MOSIDs (Dent, Med, Nur, Physio, SocW, BioSci, Pharm, HCA) and ideally should be taken as a "Phase III" prior to your "Phase IV" Basic X Officer Course (X = Nursing, Medical, Dental, Pharmacy...

Good set of videos.  A fine reminder of why I left the RCIC... my knees and back ached the entire time I watched the series of three videos.  Thanks for posting. MC

Fair enough... Agreed.  I reckon the NIS will no doubt be quite interested in the company she kept from the CAF nominal roll.  MC

She is a public service nurse and not a CF Nursing Officer as such the NDA will be likely not be used. MC

Good post above. One thing worth noting is that the QL3 is under review with a new curriculum coming out around September 2014.  Should not change things all that drastically however the clinical and field phase timing may increase / decrease somewhat as the curriculum changes.  These things...

Your training will not be in BC.  English PCP training has been moved to Moncton NB and is now being offered by Medavie. MC 

Given the option between WFR and Standard FA with CPR-C I would suggest that if you are going to take something take the WFR (which may very well have SFA with Level C-CPR as a pre-req).  Just having FA with CPR will only make you marginally more attractive (if at all) then the other 1000 people...

Taking medical type courses (short of being a primary care paramedic or higher) as part of your application plan (that is, you plan to get hired) really only serves two purposes. 1) It allows you to answer the question, "How do you know you want to be a Medical Technician?"  If you have some...

This is not true for all regions of Canada.  Some Primary Reserve Force field ambulance units still have a requirement for Medical Assistants (not Medical Technicians).  There is NO requirement to have EMT / PCP to join these positions. Please do not generalize your small part of the world...
