If you are a member of a consortium sponsored Paramedic educational program or you are considering entering into a consortium to sponsor a Paramedic educational program, then this session is for you. Guests will learn the key components of a consortium, how a consortium’s governing board differs from a program’s advisory committee, and the distinction between a consortium agreement and an articulation agreement. The concepts involved are important and are part of the core structure or foundation of the program. The operation, ownership, or other core elements of a Paramedic educational program may change and evolve over time and the individuals responsible for the program must stay abreast of the current accreditation requirements. If you have questions about the structure of your program, how to find more information on approved post-secondary education resources, or how to develop a consortium, come with questions to this session.
