The advanced care paramedic master's program is known by different names depending on the country. In New Zealand, it is typically called the Master of Health Practice (Paramedicine) or sometimes Master of Health Science (Paramedicine). These programs focus on advanced clinical skills and leadership for paramedics.

Other common names include:
- Australia: Master of Paramedic Practitioner, Master of Critical Care Paramedicine
- Canada: Advanced Care Paramedic Program
- India: Master of Advanced Care Paramedic (M.ACP)

In New Zealand, these master's programs prepare paramedics for advanced clinical roles in emergency and critical care. Program titles and structures are subject to change.
