🔬🩺 Future surgeons in action! The Dalhousie S.E.A.D. (Surgical Exploration and Discovery) Program recently visited the Skills Centre for hands-on exposure to arthroplasty, laparoscopy, and suturing techniques. Through simulation-based learning, participants explored surgical skills, gained valuable experience, and discovered the possibilities within surgical practice. A great day of learning, exploration, and skill development! @dalhousieu @dalmedwell @dalmedstudentssociety #simulationinhealthcare #surgicalsimulation #medicalschool

The Stryker Intro to Mako SmartRobotics session with Dr. Jennifer Leighton gave attendees the opportunity to gain firsthand experience with the Mako system. Practicing partial and total knee arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty on cadaveric specimens. Advancing precision, confidence, and surgical education through simulation. #simulationinhealthcare #surgicalsimulation #makosmartrobotics #orthopedicsurgery #arthroplasty

@dalobgyn recently joined us at the Skills Centre for an immersive cadaveric lab to advance their surgical skills through hands-on, high fidelity learning. A huge thank you to all faculty, staff, industry partners, and residents who made this valuable education experience possible. #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #surgicalsimulation #surgicaleducation #cadavericsimulation

Traveling all the way from Newfoundland, the Cougar Search and Rescue (SAR) team joined us to run through unique rescue scenarios and sharpen critical lifesaving skills during an immersive cadaveric training session at the Sim Bay. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Sarah Mathieson and Dr. Laura Wade, participants gained hands-on experience placing I.O. needles, i-gels, OPAs, and NPAs using cadaver specimens — an invaluable opportunity to build confidence and advance emergency response skills in a realistic learning environment. A huge thank you to everyone involved for making these sessions such a success. We’re already looking forward to the next one! #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #searchandrescue

Gynecologists from across Canada recently joined us at the Skills Centre to explore @vnotes_saves, an innovative approach that blends laparoscopic precision with vaginal surgical techniques. Advancing skills, expanding possibilities, and shaping the future of minimally invasive care. #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #surgicalsimulation #vaginalsurgery #laparoscopicsurgery

Dalhousie Digestive Care and Endoscopy residents stepped into the Skills Centre to sharpen their endoscopic techniques, practicing polyp removal using a porcine stomach model. Dr. Petropolis explains the procedure in the video. This kind of simulation-based training allows learners to refine precision, build confidence, and stay at the forefront of patient care in a safe, controlled, learning environment. #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #gastroenterology #skillslab #simulationtraining

Behind the scope and under the lights 🔍✨ @dal_otolaryngology residents spent time in the Skills Centre refining their suspension laryngology techniques with Dr. Brown - building precision, confidence, and the skills that make a difference when it matters most. Simulation today. Better patient care tomorrow. #simulationinhealthcare #surgicalsimulation #surgicalresidency

The @dal.derm Student Interest Group practiced punch biopsy techniques at the Skills Centre, building confidence through simulation and hands-on learning. #simulationinhealthcare #surgicalsimulation #medicalsimulation

Precision. Practice. Progress. 👁️✨ @dalophtho residents took their skills to the next level at the Skills Centre, diving into hands-on simulation designed to build confidence and refine technique with @labtician From microsurgical fundamentals to complex scenarios, simulation creates a safe space to learn, make mistakes, and master the details that matter most. Shaping the future of eye care, one simulation at a time. #Simulationinhealthcare #Ophthalmology #SkillsCentre

Big things are happening behind the scenes at the Skills Centre. Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to assemble and program the QEII Health Science Centre’s newest and most advanced DaVinci XI robotic surgical system in our space. From setup to system calibration, our team got a firsthand look at the technology that is transforming the way minimally invasive procedures are performed. We are proud to support cutting-edge learning experiences that bring the future of healthcare to life. #roboticsurgery #surgicalsimulation #innovationinhealthcare

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. @nstraumaprogram #simulationinhealthcare #TraumaSimulation #InSituSim #PatientSafety #TeamworkInHealthcare

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. #simulationinhealthcare #criticalcarenursing #codemanagement #nursingsimulation

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. #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #simulationeducation #giendoscopy

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. @canadianneuromodulation @dalhousieneurosurgery #neuromodulation #interventionalpain #medicaltraining #futurephysicians

Our foot & ankle simulation session with Dr. Morash, Dr. Burgesson, and Dr. Glazebrook brought precision, problem-solving, and plenty of hands-on learning. Real skills. Real scenarios. Real impact. @dalortho 📍Skills Centre #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #surgicalsimulation #orthoresidency
