At Monash University, we strive to drive the Paramedic profession forward by fostering creative and critical thinking research students. From their academic and clinical experience, our students have identified gaps in the current body of paramedic literature. Our students are doing the hard work — but they still need your help and valuable insight to progress their research projects.

We aim to study the experiences of people involved in paramedic medication prescribing. We want to better understand the systems that exist around prescribing, including models of care, professional development, support and transition to practise, and how they impact the prescribers that operate within them. We want to learn about your personal experiences through one on one interviews. Questions will centre around your involvement in prescribing, things that have challenged or facilitated your practice or involvement, post accreditation support and how you see the role existing in the healthcare system and your organisation.

You can choose to have the interview conducted at Monash University (Frankston) at a date and time convenient for you and the researchers. If you prefer the accessibility of an online interview, this will be offered via Zoom at a preferred time. These will be scheduled at a time convenient to both yourself and the research team. It is estimated to take approximately an hour of your time.

The aim of this research is to understand and explore imposter syndrome amongst specialist medical clinicians. Imposter syndrome has been widely researched within education and some medical professions; however, there is limited evidence amongst specialist medical clinicians. Imposter syndrome can lead to significant negative outcomes, including increased stress, anxiety, and burnout, which can impact both personal well-being and professional performance. By researching this phenomenon, we hope to identify its incidence and gain a better understanding, ultimately improving the overall experience and well-being of specialist medical clinicians.

Participants within this study will be asked to participate in a semi-structured interview which will take approximately 45 minutes. The interview will be conducted over Zoom and audio will be recorded for transcription.

Since 2018, paramedics within Australia are required to maintain professional registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) in order to practice. As a professional standard implemented by the AHPRA, paramedics must complete continuous professional development (CPD) to maintain registration. This concept aims to promote the maintenance of evidenced-based practice in order to optimise paramedic competency, clinical outcomes and patient safety.

The overall aim of this study is to explore the perceptions and experiences of Australian paramedics with CPD in the era of professional registration. Participants will be asked to complete a series of multiple choice and short answer questions relevant to their outlook and participation in CPD via a 10 minute survey.
