Paramedics for the Real World - First graduates from the Queensland University of Technology

Students graduating from the Bachelor of Health Science (Paramedic) program at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in November 2007, made history as they received the first pre-employment ambulance paramedic degree of its type in Queensland.

Described as a leader in its class, the degree program was developed by QUT, in close co-operation with the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) to ensure students would obtain all of the practical and clinical skills necessary to become competent ‘on road’ paramedics, while undertaking studies within the curriculum based academic framework of the university pre-employment setting.

The degree at QUT stands apart from many similar degrees offered in other Australian States with the main differences being in a 12-week ‘internship’ and opportunity for students to work as casual student paramedics with the QAS. These unique elements provide students with invaluable patient contact which is necessary for achieving excellence in ambulance paramedic practice. The students not only study paramedic based subjects but also focus on a broad spectrum of health related topics with the aim of strengthening interdisciplinary health relationships. On successful completion of the program the students graduate as recognised ‘job ready’ Advanced Care Paramedics.  Read More
