It frames the problem within paramedic industry and education contexts, treating paramedic education as a wicked problem. Using action research and multiple capstone- and project-based elements, the work develops and tests ideas about defining work-readiness, refining curricula theory-in-practice, and strengthening assumptions about the paramedic role, student experience, and assessment practices.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research
