Abstract

Management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a key requirement of qualified paramedics. However, paramedic students are rarely provided with hands-on experience in this skill. Reasons for this lack of exposure are numerous and include pragmatic challenges and ethical dilemmas for students, mentors and patients. Poor exposure of students to OHCA may lead to inferior outcomes for patients upon students' registration. Maximising students' exposure to OHCA should thus be a target of paramedic education. This article discusses the challenges associated with student involvement in OHCA and suggests greater tailoring of healthcare placements to address this shortfall in paramedic education.
