Bachelor of Paramedicine
Australian Catholic University - Brisbane

Course outline

With paramedicine being one of the fastest evolving health professions, the Bachelor of Paramedicine aims to train paramedics for the future. By developing professional paramedics who are emotionally intelligent and motivated to improve communities, we provide the foundations for students to deliver compassionate primary, urgent and/or emergency health care in challenging and dynamic environments. Through authentic learning and diverse clinical experiences, students will develop critical thinking skills, robust health care assessment and analysis techniques and the ability to make ethically and culturally informed decisions preparing them for real-world clinical and professional challenges.
