This course recognises the rapidly changing nature of paramedicine. It is critical that paramedicine expand its scope and role nationally and internationally. Students within this course will draw upon the interdisciplinary nature of paramedicine and emergency and disaster management to explore current and emerging trends and national and international approaches, as well as the key concepts and perspectives that underpin contemporary practice in these fields. Students will study with other students from a broad range of disciplines, expand their knowledge and skills and learn to apply this to the various phases of managing prehospital patients and expand on their role to encompass emergency and disaster management. Students can enjoy the option to study this course online or on campus. Online students will be required to attend compulsory residential schools for several units throughout the course. Residential schools may be held in Cairns, Townsville or Rockhampton. For more course information, visit Bachelor of Paramedic Science/Graduate Certificate in Emergency and Disaster Management.
