“…The results from this research study indicate that many students do not appreciate the social sciences component of the paramedic curriculum, preferring to concentrate on traumatic emergencies and cardiac arrest. The lack of appreciation for social science subjects in the paramedic curriculum confirms similar findings in the literature (Clark, 2009;Hallikainen, Vaisanen, Rosenberg, Silfvast, & Niemi-Murola, 2007;Mallinson, 2011;Williams, McCook, et al, 2012;Willis, Williams, Brightwell, O'Meara, & Pointon, 2010). Other professional socialization agents present in the formal phase were encounters with paramedic tutors, lecturers and senior undergraduate paramedic students while at university and on-road paramedics during clinical placements.…”

In this article, the professional socialization of university educated paramedics from the United Kingdom and Australia is discussed using the anticipatory, formal and post-formal phases of socialization. Participants for this research were from universities and ambulance services in Australia and the United Kingdom, and the data were collected and analyzed by qualitative methods. The anticipatory, formal and post-formal phases were deemed to be relevant to the professional socialization of university paramedics. However a fourth phase, called the post-internship phase was identified which better accounted for the paramedic training and practice model. The findings from this research led to the development of a four phase model of professional socialization to describe the experiences of university educated paramedics making the transition from university students to qualified paramedics.
