Continuing Competency

The intent of the College of Paramedics of Nova Scotia Continuing Competency Program is to ensure practitioners are aware of their ongoing obligation to engage in a practice model that encourages the individual practitioner to, not only, remain current in their practice, but to enhance and expand upon their competency development.

Paramedics are encouraged to identify and complete continuing competency activities that suit their individual practice needs, based upon the learning activities that have been approved by Council.
