Bachelor of Paramedicine
Paramedicine student, Max Booth enjoys the high pace and ever-changing environment that comes with paramedicine. During a recent work placement with Ambulance Victoria in Mordialloc, Max had the opportunity to practise IV cannulation on a real patient and says “while it was terrifying, it was definitely rewarding being able to get the cannulation in”. Max says that living locally and being able to work with a local crew meant they were able to contribute more into the clinical judgement and decision-making of the job.
