MONASH University will offer a new Paramedic Practitioner Master's Degree under a $20 million program announced yesterday by Vic Premier Daniel Andrews.
Monash is the preferred education provider for the degree, co-developed with Ambulance Victoria, Safer Care Victoria, paramedics, clinicians, hospitals and unions.
The first students will start early next year, with the aim of having the first 25 Paramedic Practitioners on the road by 2026, with skills that will ease the pressure on ambulances, emergency departments and other healthcare services.
Participants will train in advanced assessment techniques, diagnostics, clinical decision-making, treatment planning and legal and ethical considerations.
