The Ontario Base Hospital Group (OBHG) is recruiting Paramedic Advisors to provide frontline paramedic perspectives on key provincial committees. This is an opportunity for paramedics to directly influence education, data quality, and medical advisory decisions that shape paramedic practice across Ontario.

What is OBHG?

OBHG provides medical and operational advice to the Ministry of Health Emergency Health Services Division (MOH EHS). Paramedics are essential members of OBHG committees, ensuring that policy and clinical decisions reflect the realities of prehospital care.

Which Committees Need Paramedic Advisors?

1. Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) – Advises on patient care, leadership, funding, and EMS operations.
2. Data Quality Management (DQM) Subcommittee – Oversees paramedic data collection and reporting standards.
3. Education Subcommittee (ESC) – Reviews paramedic education standards and delivery.

Why Get Involved?

• Represent frontline paramedics and ensure your voice is heard at the provincial level.
• Help shape paramedic education, clinical guidelines, and data quality initiatives.
• Gain experience in leadership, policy development, and system-level decision-making.

Who Can Apply?

• Active Primary or Advanced Care Paramedics with several years of experience.
• Candidates should have a letter of support from their Regional Base Hospital and EMS service.
• OBHG aims for diverse representation from urban and rural paramedic services across Ontario.

What’s the Commitment?

• Three-year term (with flexibility for career changes).
• Attendance at quarterly in-person meetings plus additional teleconferences as needed.
• Travel expenses for meetings may be reimbursed, but the role is voluntary.

How to Apply

Applicants must submit:

✔ A cover letter outlining their paramedic level, region, and interest in specific committees.

✔ A brief CV summarizing their experience.
