Anaesthetic technicians in the province of Quebec.
I have described the recent history of the development of anaesthetic technicians in the Province of Quebec. Anaesthetic technicians will have the same training program as inhalation therapists. This program is organized through the CEGEP (College D' Enseignement General et Professionnel) system in Quebec. The Association of Anesthetists of the Province of Quebec (AAPQ) has sponsored inhalation therapy and now sponsors fully the program for training anaesthetic and technicians. The Government has approved the program. It is now in operation and the first anaesthetic technicians in Quebec have in fact graduated in 1973.
