Professional Recognition
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in
Saskatchewan has it's own particular challenges due to our
geographical land base of 650,000 sq.kms, with a
population base of just under one million residents served.
EMS serves its communities through 110 ambulance services,
250+ ambulance units, 1000 registered First Responders,
1420+ registered EMR's, EMT's, EMT-A's and Paramedics.
These practitioners respond to an average of 92,000+ calls a
year.
The professional
Recognition Committee has been working towards the
recognition of all EMS personnel in Saskatchewan. This
year alone, in 2011, SEMSA will have presented 38 awards to EMS
personnel throughout our province.

around emergency medial services his entire life. The sight of
men and women racing off to help people in need instilled a deep
desire to one day be that person responding to such emergencies.
In 2003 Jarrod enrolled in the Primary Care Paramedic Program at
SIAST and upon his completion in May 2004 began working for M.D.
Ambulance. In 2005 Jarrod completed his Intermediate Care
