Licensing
How are paramedics regulated?
Paramedics in Prince Edward Island are highly trained health care professionals who must have successfully completed a Primary Care Paramedicine (PCP) diploma program, and if they so choose may continue their education and get licensed to practice Advanced Care Paramedicine (ACP). After completing a paramedic training program, paramedics must be licensed by the Emergency Medical Services Board of Prince Edward Island.
​
Please note that PAPEI does not assess applications or issue licenses; however, is committed to providing educational opportunities for Continuing Education Credits (CEU) as needed for re-licensing.
