Development of my Teaching-Learning Philosophy
My role as a community paramedic is to visit patients who are diagnosed with one or

is that I cannot rush my learning. I require plenty of time to process and to repeatedly review the
information before I can make sense of the information. I must remember when educating my
patients that they also may require time to process and may also need repeat instruction or
