Abstract
Students rode with multiple agencies, including Seattle's Medic One, the Tacoma Fire Department, Kittitas Valley Fire and Rescue (KVFR), AMR of Yakima, Ballard Ambulance of Wenatchee, LifeLine Ambulance of Omak, Deer Park Volunteer Ambulance, and Spokane's city and county fire departments; and air services that included Life Flight, the University of Washington's Airlift Northwest, and Aero Methow Rescue Service of Twisp. In addition to paramedicine-related visits, planned cultural activities include visiting some of Queensland's iconic beaches and tourist attractions and a visit to Australia Zoo (founded by the late Steve Irwin) to learn about venomous snakes, spiders, jellyfish, crocodiles, and more. If you are interested in one of our exchange programs or a bachelor's degree in paramedicine through our advanced standing program for paramedics looking to get their degree, please contact Douglas.Presta@cwu.edu. ® "QUT has set a goal of recruiting outside locations for exchange programs to provide experiences for its students.
