Interprofessional peer assisted learning : Paramedic students learning falls assessments from Occupational Therapy students
Peer-assisted learning (PAL) describes a program in which students learn from students from the same health discipline. This teaching method has gained significant momentum over the past decade as an effective learning strategy for undergraduate healthcare students. Paramedic programs are increasingly utilizing PAL, however there is a scarcity of literature about interprofessional PAL, particularly between Paramedics and allied health students. This project was an evaluation of a pilot educational intervention involving final year undergraduate paramedic students. Occupational Therapy (OT) peer instructors facilitated a session on falls' risk assessments during a scheduled undergraduate Paramedic practical class. The OT peer instructors discussed pertinent considerations for Paramedics attending to elderly patients who have fallen, and then provided direct feedback to the Paramedic students during a case simulation. At the conclusion of the session, Paramedic students completed a survey evaluating their reaction to and learning from the teaching session. Results indicated that interprofessional PAL can improve undergraduate paramedic students' knowledge and confidence in performing a new skill that is well understood by another allied health profession. This adds to the body of empirical research on interprofessional PAL and supports its inclusion as a teaching modality into undergraduate healthcare programs such as Paramedicine.
