New Brunswick is the last jurisdiction in Canada to introduce these paramedics to its healthcare system. Until the pilot program was launched in 2017, ACPs in New Brunswick were barred from using their extra skills because their credentials weren’t recognized. The province is now making its Advanced Care Paramedic pilot program permanent in Moncton, Saint John, Bathurst and Fredericton. Data from the pilot project showed the ACPs saw 3,000 patients and a third of the calls required advanced care.
