Paramedic Association of PEI Award

The Paramedic Association of PEI Award is an annual award established in the Fall of 2020 to support students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Paramedicine program at the University of Prince Edward Island. This award recognizes the financial needs of full-time students pursuing their education in paramedicine while promoting higher education in the field. The award was established by the Paramedic Association of Prince Edward Island (PAPEI), a voluntary professional organization incorporated in 2009 that serves as the sole representation of the province's professional paramedic body with over 160 members. As a chapter of the Paramedic Association of Canada, PAPEI is unified with over 20,000 paramedics from across the country. The award reflects PAPEI's commitment to empowering paramedics of PEI as national leaders in the profession and supporting the advancement of paramedicine through educational opportunities.
