Abstract
The Australasian Paramedic Competency Assessment Tool (APCAT) has been designed to be used by assessors to assess the competence of undergraduate paramedic students while on clinical placement. Assessor is defined as any person who has the responsibility of completing the APCAT. The APCAT resource manual is the source document that provides information on how to use the assessment tool. The manual provides assessors from ambulance services and allied health care with information on how to use the APCAT, actions to take during the assessment process, including provision of feedback. It is up to the discretion of the academic in charge of the university course as to whether the resource manual is sent out with the APCAT.
