Overview
This unit prepares third year students in the final semester prior to graduation to become future leaders in education and research for the paramedic profession.
Clinical education encompasses education between clinicians and their patients and clinicians and their peers. Education of patients regarding their health and treatment is a crucial skill for the out-of-hospital clinician.
It fosters good therapeutic relationships as well as improving patient outcomes.
In addition, whether formally or informally, paramedics are expected to provide guidance, feedback and mentorship to junior clinicians and students on placement.
Scene leadership often extends beyond the paramedic and their partner and can include patients, bystanders and other emergency services.
This unit seeks to extend the undergraduate insights and experience in this area.
Evidence based practice is a core theme throughout the Bachelor of Paramedicine. This unit equips students with the skills to conduct rigorous appraisals of research and gain experience conducting research of their own.
