GRADUATE DIPLOMA OF SCIENCE
(CRITICAL CARE PARAMEDICINE)
Course Code M12
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.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
A relevant 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.
COURSE LOCATION
This course is available on Joondalup Campus.
