The impact of community conversations on paramedicine students’ learnings of mental health during a rural placement
This short-term rural placement enhanced paramedicine students' mental health knowledge and demonstrates one way to engage students to learn about mental health. Integrating such experiences into curricula is crucial for preparing students for real-world scenarios. Supportive learning environments are essential to mitigate challenges and potential fatigue associated with engaging in mental health discourse.
