This course will strengthen the foundational knowledge and skills acquired in the first-year courses and enable students to expand their understanding of the role of a paramedic. The aim of this course is to develop the student鈥檚 ability to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical skills and enable them to function as an effective team member during clinical placement.

This course is a competency-based course, and all assessment items must be successfully completed to pass the course. These competency items form part of the UniSQ accreditation agreement with Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

Students will further develop their knowledge and skills through being introduced to common medical and traumatic presentations encountered in paramedic practice. By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical skills, students will be able to assess, develop and implement management plans for selected conditions. This course will allow students to acquire a working knowledge of pharmacology and electrocardiography within paramedic practice. Additionally, students will gain experience working in operational environments including the use of communication equipment.

On completion of this course students should be able to:

1. Utilise clinical reasoning to integrate theoretical knowledge and clinical practice;
2. Employ a systematic approach to a comprehensive patient assessment including cardiovascular and respiratory assessments;
3. Analyse the need for crew resource management and scene control skills when presented with medical and/or traumatic patient presentations;
4. Explain basic electrocardiography tracings;
5. Demonstrate competency in advance airways skills, cardiac monitoring, IV access, defibrillation and advanced cardiac life support.
