Abstract

Paramedics treat a wide variety of patient presentations in the community, from the critical and urgent through to chronic conditions experienced every day by a growing percentage of the population. Paramedics can play a vital role in the management and service provision of unplanned and acute patient conditions requiring urgent care services. They have vast knowledge and a wide range of capabilities, a broad scope of practice, and are an essential part of the healthcare system but often not considered outside of a traditional ambulance service. The paramedicine discipline at CSU aims to bridge this gap, by engaging with allied health professionals to deliver high quality, interdisciplinary educational experiences as part of its workplace learning strategy. Through these experiences, not only will students learn specialist skills from dedicated healthcare clinicians, but they will assist in the education of allied health professionals providing insight into their capabilities and scope of practice as they transition to practice.

OtherCSEdX is a key professional learning event that celebrates best practices, explores our potential; and challenges us to provide every learner with a learning experience that is connected, relevant, thought-provoking, and future focussed.

It is the place where teaching academics can share and collaboratively learn about teaching practice: strategies, pedagogies, technologies, and approaches. The sessions offer the opportunity to explore ways to teach and to connect with peers to ‘talk teaching’.

It is the place to share the ways we improve our work through scholarly activity, bring discipline research into our teaching, and use student voices to guide teaching decisions.

CSEdX will drive innovative teaching and learning for 2023 because it offers an opportunity to bring together all staff who are connected to student learning: faculty academics and divisional staff who support the design of learning, or who lead student learning for 3 days of collective thinking and celebrating. It can be a flagship event at the university bringing together professional learning foci from across the year and shaping collective consideration of a conceptual direction for scholarly focus for the next 12 months- guiding the planning for what we need to be focussing on in teaching and scholarly activity for teaching.

The Charles Sturt EdX Conference is being held online in 2022.
