 In Alberta, for instance, only someone registered with the Alberta College of Paramedics can call themselves a Paramedic; the title is legally protected.Almost all provinces have moved to adopting the new titles, or have at least recognized the NOCP document as a benchmarking document to permit inter-provincial labour mobility of practitioners, regardless of how titles are specifically regulated within their own provincial systems.In this manner, the confusing myriad of titles and occupational descriptions can at least be discussed using a common language for comparison sake.
