The Community Paramedicine Association and Registry (CPAR) is a powerful network committed to advancing Community Paramedicine globally through education, political action and advocacy, providing the opportunity for best practice and best outcomes. We provide our members with the knowledge and resources necessary to provide optimal care to members of our communities.
Community Paramedicine and the Community Paramedic are essential as the need for delivery of diverse, culturally competent care continues to grow. Disparities, influenced by risk behaviors, socioeconomic status and generic factors magnify incidence and mortality. Education, resources, policies, personal attitudes and awareness may also co-exist.
Community Paramedicine and the Community Paramedic have the ability to enact major change. The value of Community Paramedics with education, competency, board certification, and accountability, ensures the profession of Community Paramedicine an appropriate placement within the health care team. The future of Community Paramedicine is a journey that starts with self-discovery, self-development and professional academic degree.
The CPAR community empowers Community Paramedicine Practitioners to integrate safe and quality care into everyday practice. Whether student, novice or seasoned clinician, we assist you with building a strong practice through education, networking and advocacy.
