Wednesday, 1 Jan 2003
The first university to introduce tertiary training for ambulance clinicians in 1994, Charles Sturt University (CSU) has now become the first to enter into a national accreditation process through the Council of Ambulance Authorities (CAA). Because most States and Territories are moving toward university based education for paramedics, the CAA, the peak body representing the ambulance authorities in Australasia, recently began an accreditation process, “to standardise the qualifications throughout Australia, as there are now eleven providers of paramedic education in Australia,” according to Peter O'Meara, Associate Professor in CSU’s School of Biomedical Sciences. Accreditation brings ambulance clinicians into line with similar professions such as nurses, and “will allow our graduates to move around the country freely. In terms of credibility and portability it is really important,” Professor O’Meara said.
