Doctorate Title: Out of the silo: A qualitative study of paramedic transition to a specialist role in community paramedicine.
Doctorate Description: Community paramedicine is an evolving specialist stream of paramedic practice and aims to provide patients in the community with options to navigate more efficiently the healthcare system and avoid unnecessary presentations to a hospital emergency department. This study examined the transition of paramedics from a work role in traditional paramedicine to a specialist work role in community paramedicine. The unique knowledge generated by this study allows for additional targeted intervention points for paramedics to better engage in the transition process and may decrease the time frame to deploy high-quality and ready-to-work paramedics in the community.
