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.

Individual differences between paramedics mean that some paramedics cope better than others when faced with challenges and respond to occupational stress differently. This study focused on the degree of overlap between personality traits and occupational preferences of undergraduate paramedicine students. Helping students identify their personality and how their personality interacts with their feelings of satisfaction would be a useful strategy to build student resilience.
