HIGHLY UNLIKELY as the schools in Alberta are already hard pressed to find practicum locations, hospital and field.

If you do not start until January is the agreement still set in stone ? With reciprocity agreements now in place one may be far further ahead to reevaluate your present situation and look for greener pastures ? like AB or SASK ?

Ask yourself these question's:

Do I want to work for BCAS where I will be treated as sub-human, paid poorly, forced to do OT, stuck in system that is subject to the governments every whim.

If I wish to in a timely fashion move up to the ACP level do I wish to be held up buy "internal" problems ?

With new negotiations set for April (your scheduled time to start practical)and highly likely this "Bill 21" will be contested and moved to the Supreme Court of Canada ?

Just food for thought.

Unfortunately, I'm now locked in, but obviously I'm having second thoughts. The school didn't say anything about precepting issues, so I assumed (foolishly) that they functioning agreement. Apparently, I was wrong.

Now, I've heard of BC students go to New Brunswick for their preceptorship: is this realistic, or is it just a pipe-dream.

As for the labour problems in BC, I'm confident that voters will *eventually* realize the importance of their EMS system and fund it adequately. I love BC, this is my home, so I want to stay here.

Many thanks

As a Alberta preceptor, I can tell you that I have seen quite a few BC people coming to Ab for school for just that reason.

Do you know if British Columbians can precept in Alberta?

Howdy,

I was wondering if I could get a little advice from some BC medics regarding precepting in the current political climate?

I'm starting a PCP course based out of Vancouver this January, and I'm scheduled to begin precepting in April, but I'm very worried about the potential for further job action putting a hold on my training.

I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into what precepting for PCPs is going to look like in the new year, and how best I can move past the precepting stage while still supporting my future colleges in their job action?

Thanks,

Brandon
