We were thrilled to welcome the Orchid Gala ladies to the Skills Centre.
As part of the Orchid Gala Women’s Health Initiative in collaboration with the @qeiifoundation, these incredible women are working to help bring a new DaVinci Robotic Surgical System to Nova Scotia Health.
To celebrate their efforts, they joined Dr. Willows and Dr. Scott in the Skills Centre for a hands-on colposcopy and laparoscopy simulation experience.

If you’ve ever wished for an extra hand, we’ve got you covered. Our simulation specialists recently designed and crafted this high fidelity hand model!
Because ‘hands-on’ learning should be more than just a figure of speech 🤝

Sometimes, it really is all about fun and games at the Skills Centre.
Today, @dalhousiegensurg residents are sharpening their skills (and competitive edge) as they get ready for the @cags_residents laparoscopic suturing competition.
Who will rise to the top to represent @dalhousiegensurg at the CAGS competition and claim bragging rights amongst their co residents?

From coast to coast, these cardiac surgery PGY1s came together to dive into surgical simulations with cadaveric and animal specimens on Day 1 of the CSCS PGY1 Bootcamp at the Skills Centre.
This session provided the opportunity to sharpen their surgical skills and learn from Canadian cardiovascular surgeons in supportive and collaborative learning environment.

While the spotlight often shines on the action inside our simulation rooms, the real magic starts behind the scenes.
Our simulation specialists are the driving force making sure every scenario runs smoothly - from setting up realistic environments and preparing high fidelity simulators, to trouble shooting technology on the fly and ensuring every detail aligns with the learning objectives.

@dalhousieanesthesia PGY1s are hitting the ground running at the Simulation Centre with our @laerdal_deutschland SimMan 3G Plus Patient Simulator.
Kicking off their residency with high-fidelity simulations of real world scenarios - from crisis response to airway management - these new doctors are sharpening their critical thinking, communication, and teamwork from day one.
The transition from med school to residency is no small leap, but with hands-on training in a safe, supportive, learning environment, they’re already rising to the challenge.

From toe nail removal to biopsies, cyst removals, joint injections, suturing, and obstetrics procedures, it was a packed few days of learning for these @dalfamilymed PGY1s at the Skills Centre.
These future family docs are levelling up and getting ready to bring top-notch care to their patients!

Ever wonder where our realistic simulated skin comes from? We create it entirely in-house!
Our talented Simulation Specialists engineer each piece from the ground up, crafting custom molds using our @josefprusa 3D printer and advanced silicone materials.
These high-fidelity models are essential for hands-on training in suturing, injections, wound care, and more - providing a safe, realistic environment for learners to develop and refine critical clinical skills.

Urogynecology and Pelvic Medicine staff surgeons and fellows engaged in a comprehensive surgical simulation focusing on laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy at our Skills Centre.
Stryker supported the session, providing their IRIS stents and visual equipment for procedural training.
This hands-on training provided an opportunity to refine technical skills, review anatomical landmarks, and enhance proficiency in a key pelvic floor reconstructive procedure.
