APA's ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

In addition to serving as academic advisors and facilitators, the Faculty members at the Academy strive to instill a commitment to lifelong learning among their students.  This commitment is, in fact, the pillar or key objective of all programs at the Academy; thus, Faculty members cultivate an environment in which self-directed learning is not only prized, but expected.

This expectation is the result of the very nature of the medical field, which is constantly evolving, not to mention that today’s paramedics are held accountable for a wider range of responsibilities.  Therefore, to succeed in a profession as dynamic as Paramedicine, students must be inquisitive and dedicated to expanding their expertise and abilities.  Such ongoing professional development helps to ensure a lifetime of challenge and enrichment.
