School Description The Wikiversity School of Paramedicine is a content development project started in early 2014. It aims to help support the education of students currently studying or interested in the field of prehospital care and paramedicine.

School Structure and Where to Begin The School of Paramedicine is structured to deliver a complete educational pathway for individuals at any level of knowledge to achieve the goal of a comprehensive understanding and practice of optimal, holistic care for patients in the pre-hospital setting by allowing them to customise what they wish to study, and guiding them through the process. The School is divided into Programs which are listed bellow. Each program has a descriptive name, an objective statement, a Program Assessment Piece and a number of supporting Classes. As a rule of thumb Programs should be dense enough that if you were to study them full-time, they would take around a week to complete, but not so long that it would take any longer at full-time study pace. Users should feel free to create their own programs, following the Program Structure Guide. If you are unsure where to begin, start from Introduction to Paramedic Practice. If you have previous education in the field, or are feeling the content is too easy, a good gauge of program difficulty and content can be gained by completing the Program Assessment Piece. Program Guide Introduction to Paramedic Practice This program shows paramedics role in the health care continuum and introduces the learners to primary patient assessment Vital Signs and Diagnostic Tools This program introduces secondary assessment of patients and teaches about attaining and interpreting a patient's vital signs.
