Alisha McFarlane: Gender Equity in Paramedicine
In the second episode of our Talking Research, Women in Paramedicine series, the College is delighted to welcome its very own Member Engagement Manager, Alisha McFarlane, to discuss her research on gender equity in paramedicine.
Do you know the difference between equity and equality? In this episode, PhD student and College Research Advisory Committee member, Laura Hirello, sits down with Alisha to discuss how these concepts apply to paramedicine, exploring the realities of gender equality in the profession, and the steps needed to foster a more inclusive workforce. Watch the vid-cast on the College’s YouTube channel here.
The series will conclude with a special panel discussion, bringing all our speakers together to answer key questions from our Talking Research listeners.
