Empower the next generation of paramedics.
The Paramedic Preceptor Program is tailored for paramedics who work with students and graduate paramedics, providing support, education, mentoring, and coaching in all areas of paramedicine.
This program is dedicated to refining teaching, coaching, and mentorship abilities, fostering the success of the next generation of paramedics. Join us and learn how to become an inspiring preceptor and mentor, making a lasting impact on the future of paramedicine.
Each module is self-paced and available to purchase individually, enabling preceptors to undertake modules most relevant to their personal learning objectives while still working. Modules are accessible for two months from the time of enrolment; more than one module can be undertaken concurrently.
A certificate of completion will be issued for each module completed, and for those who complete the two (2) core modules plus four (4) elective modules, a certificate of completion for the complete Paramedic Preceptor Program will be awarded.
