This unit introduces you to introductory level theory which underpins the practice of paramedicine, with a focus on the initial assessment and management of the emergent patient presentation. You will be introduced to entry level concepts of paramedicine that include situation awareness, approach to the patient, and clinical assessment of a patient using a systems-based approach. You will develop...

This unit builds upon the material learned in CAA110 and will advance the development of knowledge of the theory underpinning the practice of paramedicine, enabling you to identify, assess and manage medical and trauma conditions encountered in the out of hospital setting. The epidemiological aspects as well as contemporary and controversial management issues will be addressed. This unit will...
