Sask expanding health care training opportunities

Saskatchewan is dramatically increasing educational opportunities for Saskatchewan students and young adults interested in health careers.

An immediate initial investment of more than $5.5 million will help create over 550 new post-secondary training seats across 18 healthcare training programs.

Expanding health training programs is one of four pillars in the province’s Health Human Resources Action Plan.

This commitment will increase training capacity at the province’s post-secondary institutions and reserve additional training seats for Saskatchewan students in highly specialized programs in other provinces.

“This initiative will open up exciting new health career options for many more Saskatchewan students by giving them greater access to training for their career of choice,” said Advanced Education Minister Gordon Wyant.

“The scale of this unprecedented expansion of Saskatchewan’s health training capacity demonstrates our government’s commitment to strengthening our health care workforce. We are grateful for the support of our partners across the post-secondary education and health sectors.”

Training programs that will expand beginning in fall 2023 include Medical Laboratory Assistant, Continuing Care Assistant, Primary Care Paramedic, Licensed Practical Nurse, Pharmacy Technician, Clinical Psychologist, Physical Therapist and Mental Health and Addictions Counsellor.

Post-secondary insti - tutions across the province - technical schools, regional colleges, Indigenous institutions and universities - will support the expansion so that students can study and work closer

This latest expansion builds on a previous investment in 202223 to add 150 nursing seats in Saskatchewan’s registered nursing, registered psychiatric nursing, and nurse practitioner programs.
