NEW - Level 1 Trauma Day & Level 2 Trauma Day

We recognize that there is a varying level of training across paramedics in our region. With this, we want to offer you the opportunity to attend a day that best suits your learning needs and wants - so that you can get the most out of the day. Below is a breakdown of the differences between the different levels of Trauma Day. All paramedics can sign up for either level, but we encourage you to follow our recommendations. We also encourage you to watch this video for further explanation:

Level 1

• Recommended for those who have not attended a previous Trauma Day
• New entry-to-practice paramedics (<5 years recommended)
• Higher focus and time spent on skills review and practice
• Less focus on scenarios

Level 2

• Recommended for those who have attended previous Trauma Days
• Experienced paramedics (5+ years recommended)
• Higher focus and time spent on bringing a variety of skills together
• Higher focus on scenarios with high fidelity simulations

Continued Hybrid Format for Greater Accessibility

To make the training accessible to more learners, Trauma Days will continue to be offered in a hybrid format. This includes:

• 4 hours of online pre-learning
• 4 hours of in-class hands-on practice and scenarios
