U84 Graduate Certificate of Science (Critical Care Paramedicine) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This program is designed to allow paramedics to enhance their clinical knowledge and competence to the level of critical or intensive care practitioners. Theoretical and practical knowledge will be consolidated by independent research to enable the development of advanced critical thinking and communication skills. The program encourages the analysis of evidence based and accepted practice that will ultimately lead to excellence in paramedical practice.
COURSE LOCATION AND MODE OF STUDY All units are available in the external/online mode.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS An undergraduate degree or equivalent prior learning including at least five years appropriate professional experience. Because of the advanced nature of the cardiac units, students will be required to have completed a "12 lead in ECG component" in either the Associate Diploma of Pre Hospital Care, or in the Bachelor of Science (Paramedical Science). St John Ambulance will conduct an intensive 30 hour course for those who do not have this requirement and who wish to enter the post graduate course. This will be an additional cost to the student.
