University of Prince Edward Island

"I chose University of Prince Edward Island because of its strong reputation in island-focused research, particularly through the Institute of Island Studies. The Master of Arts in Island Studies (Public Policy) program aligned closely with my academic interests and long-term career goals."

"After working as a paramedic for over 15 years, I reached a point where I wanted to explore new roles in the profession—roles beyond traditional ambulance work. I was interested in leadership, management, and corporate opportunities within paramedicine, but I knew I needed a strong academic foundation to move in that direction."

"This degree opens doors you may not even realize exist." Kellie MacLeod is putting her UPEI degree in Paramedicine to work as an Advanced Care Paramedic and a graduate student.

"I come from a small island developing state in the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago, where many people may not have heard of it. I love being able to introduce myself as an islander, drawn by the tides to another island, to explore the stories, struggles, and strengths of islands everywhere. As islanders, we all have different stories to share, and PEI and UPEI have their own unique ones."

"UPEI and the MAIS program taught me being small is a strength." Meet Ayana Arnaud, Master of Arts in Island Studies student (Sustainable Island Communities focus area).

"The Paramedicine program at UPEI is strengthening my clinical expertise, science knowledge, and research skills, which I apply directly in emergency care. It also develops critical thinking, communication, and leadership abilities, preparing me for broader responsibilities."

"UPEI is equipping me to make a greater impact in patient care." Bibin Peter is a paramedic with Island EMS, and graduate of UPEI's Paramedicine degree program.
