Paramedicine Program Information Sessions
Attendance at a Paramedicine Program Information Session is optional for all students, but is highly recommended for anyone considering applying to COCC's Paramedic program. The sessions last approximately one hour and include time for questions/answers. Sessions are scheduled every Spring term remotely via Zoom. Once you register for the session, you will get an email with the Zoom link and information about the session. Please download and review the Selective Admissions Handbook as this will be reviewed during the session.
