Rate My Professor Jean-Paul Veronese

Jean-Paul Veronese serves as a Lecturer in Paramedicine within the School of Medicine and Dentistry at Griffith University, where he has been teaching since 2018. He currently leads simulation and assessment activities in the paramedicine program and acts as Team Lead for the Undergraduate Paramedicine Education research focus area in the Griffith Paramedicine Research Team. This role involves examining key aspects of undergraduate paramedicine education, such as curriculum assessment, simulation-based training, and the development of clinical competencies essential for job readiness. Veronese convenes several core courses, including Transition to Paramedic Practice (Capstone), Cardiac Conditions in Paramedic Practice, and Respiratory Conditions in Paramedic Practice. With more than 20 years of clinical experience as a paramedic, he works casually as an Advanced Care Paramedic for the Queensland Ambulance Service. Prior to relocating to Australia, he spent 13 years with South Africa’s State Ambulance Service, holding positions in critical care, education, and leadership.

Veronese holds a Bachelor of Technology in Emergency Medical Care and a Master of Science in Emergency Medicine awarded in 2015. He is pursuing a PhD at Griffith University, focusing on performance-based assessment to enhance job readiness in paramedicine. His scholarly contributions include publications such as 'Building Paramedics, Maintaining Skilled Practitioners' in the Australasian Journal of Paramedicine (2018), 'Determining the Ability of Paramedic Students to Do Drug Calculations' in Focus on Health Professional Education (2020), and 'Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation by Emergency Medical Services Personnel in the City of Cape Town, South Africa' in the African Journal of Emergency Medicine (2018). These works have garnered citations and reflect his interests in paramedic education, mathematical skills for drug administration, and resuscitation practices. Veronese has presented on topics like using simulation for ECG interpretation skills at the Australasian College of Paramedicine International Conference and contributed to the IRIS SimStars Challenge at Simulation Congress, where his team received high commendation. He also represents Griffith University as an associate member in the Australasian Council of Paramedicine Deans.
