This second Clinical Diagnostics course is designed to build upon and extend knowledge and skill developed in Clinical Diagnostics 1. In conjunction with the course Clinical Paramedicine 2 this develops the student's understanding of pre-hospital care to Advanced Life Support Level (ALS). Initially the student will review paramedic care models and the practice of paramedicine. Medical health assessment and diagnosis, basic electro cardiology and drug administration systems will be reviewed as a basis for the main topics relating to trauma rapid assessment and evacuation, and ALS medical emergencies. Utilising models of practice and CPG's the student, in a small team, will plan and present the main topics of the course relating to trauma, rapid assessment and evacuation. Throughout the course a problem-based learning model will be used and students will be constantly encouraged to develop critical thinking processes.

Note: Due to the Job-ready Graduates Package new funding clusters and contribution amounts will take effect in the 2021 academic year. Grandfathering arrangements will be in place for students who would see an increase in their contribution amounts. Under these arrangements, students who commenced their course of study before 1 January 2021 facing increased student contribution amounts for a unit, will instead have their student contribution and Australian Government contribution amounts remain as they were under the previous arrangements (with existing rates being indexed by CPI each year). If continuing students are enrolled in units that will see their student contribution amount lowered, their student contributions will be the lowered amount
