Learners joined Dr. Gould for a high-fidelity simulation focused on Front of Neck Access, one of the most time-critical skills in airway management.
These sessions help build the teamwork and precision needed when every second counts in an emergency.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, Paramedic Educator CCP, leads point-of-care-ultrasound (POCUS) intravenous training at the Sim Bay.
POCUS training for intravenous access in the emergency department can result in better patient outcomes.

Recently, our simulation specialists have been hard at work creating synthetic skin products designed for suturing practice.
The @dalobgyn clerks put our prototype to the test at the Skills Centre, giving us valuable feedback as we compare it to other manufacturers. Innovation starts right here at the QEII Simulation Program.
