Welcome to Paramedic Prep School

Hello, and welcome! We hope you will join us on an exciting new chapter in your journey toward a rewarding career as a paramedic. I'm Jimmy, and I've dedicated nearly 14 years of my life to serving as a paramedic with Ambulance Victoria, both in metropolitan and regional areas. During this time, I've spent over 8 years as a clinical instructor. I've had the privilege of working with countless students and have seen common challenges that need addressing.

The common challenge: Awaiting on the Order of Merit

One pressing issue that keeps arising, especially among those who've had to wait on the order of merit for over six months, is the struggle to balance the demands of their ambulance service training and ongoing assessments. Time and again, students find themselves immersed in exam preparation, leaving them with insufficient time to grasp fundamental concepts essential for confidently handling real-world patient scenarios.

The optimal timing: Preparing before your ambulance service journey

I believe that the ideal moment to engage with the content of this course is before embarking on your ambulance service career. This is when you, ideally, still have a bit of spare time to revisit your university coursework without the stress of sifting through endless notes to identify what's truly vital. This module will equip you with the knowledge you need for your journey as a first-year paramedic, focusing on addressing patients with cardiac-related chest pain and STEMI.

The Structure of Your Learning Journey

This module is divided into three key components:

  • Zoom Lecture

    We'll begin with an in-depth 2-hour Zoom session, covering the core content on asthma. Here we will focus on understanding the link between pathophysiology, assessment, treatment, and pharmacology.

  • Zoom Q&A

    This will be followed by a 1-hour Zoom Q&A session, enabling us to delve into key concepts introduced during the first session. Our Q&A sessions provide the ideal platform to clarify any doubts and deepen your understanding of course content. Explore practical applications and real-life interpretations of theoretical knowledge. Gain insights from the experiences of your peers, enriching your grasp of the subject.

  • Interactive Workbook

    The workbook serves multiple purposes. It prepares you for our Zoom sessions, ensuring you come ready to engage deeply with the content. It reinforces course material, helping you build a strong foundation of knowledge. It allows for self-paced, step-by-step comprehension of complex concepts. It provides a quick reference for key topics, aiding in efficient revision.

Learning Objectives

At the End of This Module, You'll Be Able To:

  • Grasp the fundamental pathophysiology of common life-threatening conditions that paramedics frequently encounter.

  • Master crucial assessment techniques, ensuring swift and precise patient evaluation in critical situations.

  • Understand the pharmacological treatments for common medical emergencies, empowering you to administer medications effectively in high-stress scenarios.

  • Bundle assessment questions and treatments, facilitating efficient recall and application in time-sensitive situations.

Active Participation Is Key

We encourage you to actively immerse yourself in the material, seek clarification when needed, and actively contribute to discussions. Your commitment to completing the workbook guide and practicing assessment questions will substantially enrich your learning journey.

Our mission here at Paramedic Prep School goes beyond rote memorization. It's about understanding the 'why' behind the 'what.'
