Paramedics expect their base hospital to provide educational support to those who are practising. To make this experience robust and more meaningful, we developed an online platform that we call MedicLEARN for hosting education materials.

MedicLEARN is a clearinghouse for training documents and an integrated portal for paramedic access to online classes. Most of the content is developed at the RPPEO. The Ontario Base Hospital Group's Education Subcommittee also provides provincial content. All of the courses and information we post to MedicLEARN is vetted for its relevance to paramedic practice in our region.

The online course content is not only accessible in MedicLEARN: it's also integrated with paramedic profiles in the MedicNET system. This means that the updating of paramedic files with completed CME or other educational attainment done in MedicLEARN is seamless.

MedicNET is a password protected records management interface for paramedics, paramedic services, the Ministry of Health and the base hospital. Each paramedic in the RPPEO region has an account on MedicNET that details the paramedic's profile, their continuing education activities, and their current and historical certifications.

Many of the most common activities recorded in MedicNET are automated so that paramedics do not need to worry about updating RPPEO CME activities or certifications. Since MedicNET is self-serve, paramedics do need to keep contact details up to date.

MedicNEWS started in 2020 as a way to quickly get new practice insight out to all paramedics in the Eastern Ontario region during the COVID-19 pandemic. Morphing to lighter, timely short reads that aim to deliver entertaining and thought-provoking content, RPPEO now puts out a new digital MedicNEWS ten times a year.
