Who is TheGrowthParamedic?
Hello there! My name is Marvin and I am TheGrowthParamedic® and Director of Education for TheGrowthParamedic Academy. I've made my passion of prehospital medicine and education a career that I love doing everyday! I work as a qualified paramedic within a state ambulance service as well as providing specialist support for volunteer organisations like Surf Life Saving and St john Ambulance as a Rescue Watercraft Operator and Mobile Emergency Response Units.
I hold a Bachelor of Paramedicine, a Master of Critical Care Paramedicine and currently completing a Master of Traumatology and will be followed by a Master of Science in Medicine (Critical Care Medicine). I've undertaken further studies with Harvard Medical School's Principles of Critical Care Medicine. I have certifications in Advanced Adult and Paediatric Life Support and undertaken trauma courses with Aeromedical Retrieval services such as CareFlight. My goal is to share my passion for learning to student paramedics and to help develop them as strong clinical leaders who embody evidence-based health care practices.
