They say that they want PCPs and also that you need to have the MoHLTC aeromedical certificate which is an Ontario thing, but it never hurts to get in touch and ask.

Maybe if you give us some more info on why you're wondering about this and we can help provide other information.

Well, my wife and I are interested in moving to Toronto, she will take her masters in sport science and Im interested in expanding my education in prehospital emergency medicine.

Given the extremely high demand for the program, and prerequisites that include a letter of reference from your Base Hospital, I'd be surprised if they'd accept someone not currently practicing in Ontario. Only real way to know is to contact them and ask.

Where are you from and what is your current education and level of practice like? There are other ACP programs (not flight) in the Toronto area that may be worth considering. Is your ultimate goal to work in Ontario or just to receive the education?

What education is required to become an EMT-I in Iceland?

I would suggest that you either consider a PCP program or look at the equivalency process here: http://www.health.gov.on.ca/english/public/program/ehs/edu/equiv.html

If you goal is to work in Ontario, then it is probably best for you to focus on getting the AEMCA first.
