WARMAN, SK – Great Plains College is pleased to announce the addition of a new full-time Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) program at its Warman Campus, beginning in December 2026. This marks the first time the College has offered the PCP program in Warman, expanding access to in-demand emergency medical training in the region.
The one-year certificate program is designed to prepare students with the knowledge, judgment and hands-on skills required to provide pre-hospital emergency medical care in high-pressure situations. The program includes classroom instruction, extensive practical training, and hospital and ambulance practicums completed in the Saskatoon region.
“Primary Care Paramedics play an integral role in our healthcare system and are often the first point of contact during medical emergencies,” said Keleah Ostrander, vice president, programs and students at Great Plains College. “By offering this training in Warman for the first time, we are responding to workforce needs in our communities while creating a local pathway for students to enter a high-demand, rewarding career in healthcare.”
Upon graduation, students will be eligible to write the provincial licensing exam for registration with the Saskatchewan College of Paramedics and begin their careers as Primary Care Paramedics, supporting emergency medical services in communities across Saskatchewan.
Applications are now open for the December 2026 intake. Due to strong interest in the program, prospective students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. Applications received by October 31, 2026 will be automatically considered for an Entrance Scholarship of $500 to $3,000.
