COURSE STRUCTURE This course requires 360 credit points (24 units) to complete. Students may complete this course in an employment model linked to a specific employer or through a standard degree model with a mixture of on and off campus modes of delivery.
Students studying external to Joondalup campus should be aware that some units may require on campus attendance at an intensive workshop or placement in or outside the normal semester periods if equivalent practicum is not available locally. The program relies on the goodwill of health agencies for the provision of clinical experience. Students will be required to attend during the hours established by the clinical agency and these may occur at times outside the identified semester weeks and clinical practice periods may change with minimal notice to students due to circumstances outside the control of the School.
Students will also be expected from their first year of study to initiate and develop a professional portfolio that maps their progression towards professional practice and the national paramedic competencies as articulated by the accrediting body. These can be found at http://caa.net.au/en/education/documentscorrected
The required learning outcomes in some of the compulsory practical/applied practice units in this course may not be readily achievable or appropriate for persons with certain disabilities or medical conditions. Whilst the university will attempt to make such adjustments as is reasonably practical, all students must fulfil the inherent requirements of the course which as described above are linked to professional and industry competencies. You are strongly encouraged to discuss the requirements of the course with the course coordinator before you seek enrolment. |
