@dalortho residents and fellows enhancing their surgical skills through simulation at the Skills Centre - mastering surgical exposures and external fixation under fluoroscopic guidance with NS Health x-ray technician, Julie. @dr.osamaodat #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #surgicalsimulation #surgicaleducation #education #orthoeducation #orthopaedics #orthopedicsurgery #orthopedicinstruments #surgicalresident

Exciting news in GI cancer care! This summer, Dr. Petropolis will perform Eastern Canada’s first Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) - a minimally invasive procedure that removes early-stage cancers or precancerous lesions in one piece for complete analysis. The Skills Centre provided the ideal setting to practice this procedure on an animal specimen. This advanced technique reduces the need for further surgery and brings world-class care closer to home. #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #simulationeducation #GIcare #cancertreatment #medicalinnovation #surgicalsimulation

At the Skills Centre, Dr. Brown, Dr. Johnson, and Dr. Horne engage in collaborative simulation training in preparation for an incoming complex reconstructive surgery. This simulation-based practice allows them to refine and adapt surgical techniques and plans within a safe and controlled learning environment. @dal_otolaryngology #simulation #simulationeducation #simulationinhealthcare #surgicalsimulation #surgicaltraining #reconstructivesurgery

Dalhousie Respiratory Therapy students attended a bronchoscopy training simulation using porcine lungs at the Skills Centre. Learners were able to practice using a bronchoscope to explore airway anatomy and refine their bronchoscopy skills. #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #education #respiratorytherapy #respiratorytherapist #rt #respiratorytherapystudent

Dr. James Gould runs an Insitu in the Charles V Keating Emergency department. Services are alerted to a MVC trauma activation, and begin care of our simulated patient once they’ve arrived in the ED. Simulation provides a chance to figure out where vital equipment should be, or where a certain role should stand, or which side of the bed to transfer from given the logistics. #simulation #simulationeducation #simulationinhealthcare #emergencymedicine #trauma #traumaeducation

Surgeons from across Canada gathered at the Skills Centre for an advanced Mako training and certification session. This hands-on cadaveric workshop allowed participants to refine their expertise by utilizing partial knee, total knee, and total hip applications as part of the Mako Surgical Training Program Certification. @stryker.orthopaedicinstruments #simulation #simulationeducation #simulationtraining #simulationinhealthcare #surgicalsimulation #surgicaltraining #strykermakorobotics #strykermako

Meet Kayla, our new Simulation Specialist! We’re thrilled to welcome her to our team and can’t wait to see her in action. With her skills and passion, Kayla will be facilitating dynamic simulation sessions and making a meaningful impact for our learners. #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #simulationspecialist #teamwork

The Sim Bay setup for today - ‘Today Dr. Tran will compare both our TruCorp TruIV block and the Blue Phantom Branched 4 vessel Ultrasound block’ #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #medicaltraining #TruCorp #CAEBluePhantom #halifaxinfirmary #ICU

The @qeiifoundation visited the Skills Centre recently for a special tour alongside one of their generous donors. We enjoyed showcasing our simulation-based facility, designed to develop, support, and assess surgical competencies for multidisciplinary healthcare providers. Innovation in training leads to better patient care. #qeiifoundation #communityimpact #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #healthcareinnovation

The Emergency Nursing Program was back in action at the Sim Centre, diving into high-fidelity obstetrics and pediatrics simulations using our @gaumard_scientific Victoria simulator. These realistic scenarios prepare nurses to handle real-world emergencies in their clinics practice with confidence, precision, and expertise. #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #education #emergencynursing #emergencynursingprogram #simtraining #nurselife #handsonlearning

The Emergency Nursing Program participated in a hands-on simulation of sepsis, respiratory distress, and cardiogenic shock scenarios at the Sim Bay. From rapid assessments to critical interventions, these nurses honed their skills in a realistic scenario using our @laerdal_deutschland SimMan 3G Patient Simulator. #simulation #simulationinhealthcare #education #emergencynursing #emergencynursingprogram #emergencymedicine
