Overview

As a member of the military, Nurse Practitioners provide care and treatment to ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members and supported populations in a primary and tertiary care environment in Canada and while on operation.

Work within a collaborative practice model with other members of the healthcare team and lead the delivery of health services within your area of practice. Opportunities include :

• Primary Care;
• Acute Care;
• Education and training;
• Policy and Program management.

Work environment

As a Nurse Practitioner in the Primary Reserve Force, you will enroll through a specific Reserve unit. Outside of training, your Reserve unit will be your workplace on a part-time basis, with no obligation to relocate. Typically, you work one night per week and some weekends, with possibilities for full-time employment. During deployments, you will live and work in the same environment as CAF members.

If you choose a career in the Regular Force, after training, you will be assigned to a base, with potential relocations. Joining the Primary Reserve allows you to work part-time without relocating outside your Reserve unit.
