ACPIC 2021: Preparedness for Professional Practice: Investigating clinical preceptors and graduates perceptions

About

The ACP International Conference provides an unmatched opportunity for our members to learn from experts and leaders in paramedicine. ACPIC 2021 was delivered as a hybrid conference (online and face to face in the Sunshine Coast, QLD and Hobart, TAS) in November 2021.

The “preparedness for practice” concept is difficult to quantify into a single construct. It has previously been poorly defined within paramedic and other healthcare research, with confusion apparent between the terms work readiness, preparedness for practice and road ready. The literature acknowledges factors that impede clinical learning however the impact on preparedness for practice is not clearly identified. The aim of this grounded theory study is to develop of a paramedic undergraduate preparedness for practice theory from an international, professional and academic perspective.
