Our method

The method of the Agent Ambulancier editorial team: where the figures come from, how articles are checked and what the site never does.

Updated on October 15, 2026.

Who writes

Agent Ambulancier is an independent information site. It is not affiliated with the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux, Santé Québec, or any institution, union, ambulance company or school. Its articles are signed by the Agent Ambulancier editorial team.

Official sources only

Figures and rules come from authoritative texts: laws and regulations on LégisQuébec, Québec.ca, publications of the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux, Urgences-santé, Santé Québec, the SAAQ, the CNESST, the RAMQ, the Government of Canada Job Bank and the websites of ambulance companies. When no official source gives a figure, the article says so instead of making one up.

The media are not used as sources. No newspaper article is reproduced.

Every figure is dated

A salary, a rate or a rule changes over time. Each article states the version of the source used or the date it was consulted. The list of sources, with their links, is at the bottom of every article and every guide.

The real questions readers ask

The frequently asked questions at the bottom of articles are the ones people actually ask Google, used word for word. The answer is a few sentences long and relies on the same sources as the article.

What the site does not do

Agent Ambulancier gives no medical advice, no care technique and no intervention technique. It does not replace training or your employer's protocols. At work, the rules of your employer and your dispatch centre are what count.
