Engaging paramedic students in research : a case report

The use of volunteer undergraduate students to support simulated training for peers is common in paramedic science. However, there are limited examples of engaging paramedic student-volunteers in research as compared to that reported in cognate disciplines such as medicine and nursing. This case report shares our experience with engaging a penultimate year paramedic student in evaluation research. This information we hope will start the dialogue on the epistemology and pedagogies for effective engagement of undergraduate paramedic students as future researchers
