The College is establishing a Research Network to connect paramedicine researchers and promote collaboration.
Finding the right research partner or HDR supervisor can be challenging. Identifying an expert in your field, someone skilled in the necessary methodology, or a supervisor based in your area can be a difficult and daunting task.
To support paramedicine researchers, the College is developing an international registry: a comprehensive, user-friendly directory designed to strengthen research connections and build the profession’s research capacity.
Joining is simple! Just click here and complete the form with your details. If you meet the eligibility criteria, a member of our team will review and upload your information to the network.
To join the Research Connect Network, you must be a current financial member of the College and actively involved in paramedicine research.
To update your profile, please contact us at research@paramedics.org with the changes you would like to make.
You will remain on the register as long as you maintain your financial membership with the College.
A primary supervisor provides academic leadership and oversight to a research candidate. They guide the research process, support thesis development, and ensure the project meets ethical standards and institutional requirements.
A co-supervisor offers additional expertise and support, often in a specific area of the research. They work alongside the Primary Supervisor to provide broader mentorship and contribute to the academic and professional development of the candidate.
Finding the right supervisor can feel overwhelming, but it starts with knowing your research interests and the kind of support you need. Explore potential supervisors by reviewing their publications, profiles on Research Connect, online profiles and research group websites.
