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.

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.

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.
