Can factors that impact an undergraduate paramedic student's academic performance be identified prior to submission?

Introduction: The University of Queensland’s (UQ) Bachelor of Paramedic Science program commenced in 2012 and has an annual intake of 100-130 students. The curriculum is designed to graduate competent paramedics with highly developed clinical reasoning skills. In year one students complete discrete courses within the scientific, clinical and professional domains. In years two and three a case based learning pedagogy is used to develop students’ reasoning skills by linking the core biological sciences to clinical practice.
