Lethbridge Polytechnic to introduce Primary Care Paramedic diploma program next Fall

Sep 23, 2026 | 8:53 AM

Beginning next Fall, Lethbridge Polytechnic will be offering up a two-year Primary Care diploma for paramedics. 

President and CEO, Dr. Brad Donaldson, is excited to see the new program take flight – one that will see students, in part, working in a hospital setting.

“Health care, growing population, aging population, has significant demands on our health care system and our new programming reflects that need in the community, which we’re glad to support, along with other areas of focus including other health care programs like dental assistant…gaming.”

Applications for the diploma program open on October 1st.
