This action research study was designed to evaluate the use of an objective assessment system for validating paramedic student clinical competency in lieu of a pre-existing minimum numbers system as mandated by a state regulatory oversight agency. Utilizing a mixed methods approach, the research findings confirmed that validating paramedic student clinical competency through the use of an objective-based assessment yielded similar pass rates on standardized state licensure testing as for previous students who obtained state minimum numbers to validate clinical competence. There was no correlation between the number of patient assessments conducted by the students and eventual performance on standardized state licensure testing. The objective assessment model also yielded additional benefits without adding any considerable overhead to the coordination of student clinical experiences. In general, the results indicated that an objective assessment system was a valid mechanism for validating paramedic student foundational clinical competence. Based on the findings, the objective assessment process could be preferred over a minimum numbers-based system.
