Currently (as of 01 April 2022) there are Nurse Practitioners (working as such) in the reserve force only. There was a trial many years ago introducing NPs into the Reg force however it did not last. Whether this will be brought back remains to be seen.
The AE Flt is responsible for the medical movement (evacuation) by air of all CAF members. Whether they are injured or become ill on exercise, vacation, operations etc, the AE Flt will move them.

Fiji_boy_,
This year started with 7 spots for ROTP nursing. It has since been increased by around 20.
Whether these spots have all been filled or not I cannot tell you.
I worked at Quadra (granted it was about 10 years ago) on the medical side and I can tell you that there were cadets with medical issues of the same caliber that were there. The RCMLO is probably your best contact for a more precise answer.
