Ms Madigan said, “This University pioneered pre-hospital care education in Australia. When I started in 1999 we had 35 students the first year, we now have 150. It’s one of the strongest growing disciplines at CSU. The double degree, nursing and paramedic, is the most popular double degree CSU offers.”
