SAMPLE history
Mnemonic acronym in emergency medicine
paramedicine
Paramedicine is a health profession and domain of practice concerned with the assessment, treatment, and care of people experiencing acute illness, injury, or other urgent health needs in a wide range of out-of-hospital and related settings. It has developed internationally from a vocation based solely around pre-hospital emergency response into an autonomous profession with a broad scope of evidence-based practice. Paramedics work across emergency, urgent, primary and community care, and may also hold non-clinical roles in education, leadership, research, public health and system development.
