The College Research Committee is pleased to call for Expressions Of Interest (EOI) for Mentees and Mentors for the 2023 Paramedicine Research Mentoring Program (PRMP).

The PRMP is 9-month program aimed at providing paramedics with an opportunity to learn about research from experienced paramedic researchers. The program is aimed at paramedics who have an interest in learning more about research pathways and opportunities in the discipline. Successful applicants will be matched to an experienced paramedic mentor and will engage in a structured series of one-on-one and group mentoring sessions.

The PRMP is not an education course about research design and methods, but a mentoring program that seeks to promote engagement with research, create peer research networks, and encourage transition into formal research pathways such as higher degree by research (HDR) programs.

Want to be a mentee?

The program is aimed at registered paramedics who are yet to engage in any formal research training. The eligibility criteria for research mentees:

• Be a current member of the College
• Hold registration under Paramedicine Board of Australia/New Zealand
• NOT be currently enrolled or have completed higher degree by research (HDR) qualifications (i.e. MRes, MPhil, PhD)

Want to be a mentor?

The Committee is seeking experienced mentors with a commitment to fostering the development of the next generation of paramedic researchers. The eligibility criteria for research mentors:

• Be a current member of the College
• Hold a PhD (or equivalent research qualification)
• Have a demonstrable track record of research activity

Expressions of Interest must be submitted by COB on 11 November 2022.
