Today’s trauma in-situ simulation brought the team together right where care actually happens — testing our systems, sharpening communication, and strengthening the way we respond when every second counts.
From rapid assessments to coordinated interventions, these simulations help us uncover gaps, celebrate strengths, and build the confidence that translates directly to better patient care.
Grateful for a team that shows up ready to learn, adapt, and support each other.

From theory to practice.
After completing the theory component of the Critical Care Nursing Program, learners step into the Sim Bay to put their code management skills to the test in a realistic, high-fidelity simulation.
Practicing teamwork, leadership, communication, and critical decision-making skills in a safe learning environment.

Residents from the Division of Digestive Care and Endoscopy department stopped by the Skills Centre for a hands-on GI endoscopy skills session focused on diagnosing and stopping GI bleeds.
Minimally invasive, precision in practice, confidence in care.

Three days. Hands on. Real skills.
Trainee physicians dove into Interventional Pain and Neuromodulation procedures at the Skills Centre.
Building skills, boosting confidence, and gaining the hands-on experience through simulation that textbooks can’t teache.

From airway to throaty, this rTTL session was all about hands-on trauma care with Dr. James Gould.
By prioritizing hands on practice, simulation can empower learners to build real confidence and sharpen the skills they will need for their trauma team lead rotation.
