Community Heart Health Program

BLS Training Program
The Manitoba Society of Physician Assistants is a not-for-profit education & advocacy organization that developed the Community Heart Health Program to provide the public and healthcare workers with an affordable, flexible and adaptable program that meets and exceeds the requirements of your personal or professional education requirements. The goal of this program is to provide a cost effective, efficient, adaptable and accessible Heart & Stroke accredited Basic Life Support (BLS) Training program.

BLS Instructor Training & Mentorship Program
In addition to the BLS training program, the Manitoba Society of Physician Assistants also provides a grant program that provides funding to cover the expenses of the Heart & Stroke BLS Instructor Training course, monitoring requirements and includes 10 hours of voluntary internship to solidify learning and proficiency in running and managing a program.

The successful candidate can teach BLS for MSoPA and learn about opportunities in our not-for-profit model and the professional advocacy initiatives. This is not a requirement, however.

Everyone is encouraged to organize, teach and certify their colleagues, departments, hospitals or facilities.

A Special Note:
By using MSoPA for your BLS needs, you are supporting Manitoba PA Education & Advocacy initiatives that will help grow and support the profession and open new opportunities in CME, education and non-clinical roles. You will also be supporting your colleagues.
