Unexpected Journey into Paramedic Research

Duncan McConnell

This article in the June/July Canadian Paramedicine Journal, discusses how any paramedic can become involved in paramedic research.

It provides real life examples of how I became involved in paramedic research and encourages readings how they can become involved as well.

If we are going to lead the Paramedicine Profession into the future and be recognised in the same way are other medical and allied health professions, then we need to lead the way in our own Paramedic Research as well.
