Excerpt from the National Occupational Competency Profiles for Paramedic Practitioners June 2001

The Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) has successfully completed a recognized educational program in paramedicine at the primary care level. PCPs may be volunteer or career paramedics associated with urban, suburban, rural, remote, industrial, air ambulance and / or military services. PCPs constitute the largest group of paramedic practitioners in Canada . They are expected to demonstrate excellent decision-making skills, based on sound knowledge and principles. Controlled or delegated medical acts ¹ identified in the PCP competency profile include semi-automated defibrillation and the administration of certain medications.

1 Successful completion of an educational program that has provided instruction in the provision of controlled or delegated medical acts does not sanction a paramedic practitioner to implement these acts without formal, defined medical control.
