From coast to coast, these cardiac surgery PGY1s came together to dive into surgical simulations with cadaveric and animal specimens on Day 1 of the CSCS PGY1 Bootcamp at the Skills Centre.
This session provided the opportunity to sharpen their surgical skills and learn from Canadian cardiovascular surgeons in supportive and collaborative learning environment.

While the spotlight often shines on the action inside our simulation rooms, the real magic starts behind the scenes.
Our simulation specialists are the driving force making sure every scenario runs smoothly - from setting up realistic environments and preparing high fidelity simulators, to trouble shooting technology on the fly and ensuring every detail aligns with the learning objectives.

@dalhousieanesthesia PGY1s are hitting the ground running at the Simulation Centre with our @laerdal_deutschland SimMan 3G Plus Patient Simulator.
Kicking off their residency with high-fidelity simulations of real world scenarios - from crisis response to airway management - these new doctors are sharpening their critical thinking, communication, and teamwork from day one.
The transition from med school to residency is no small leap, but with hands-on training in a safe, supportive, learning environment, they’re already rising to the challenge.

Ever wonder where our realistic simulated skin comes from? We create it entirely in-house!
Our talented Simulation Specialists engineer each piece from the ground up, crafting custom molds using our @josefprusa 3D printer and advanced silicone materials.
These high-fidelity models are essential for hands-on training in suturing, injections, wound care, and more - providing a safe, realistic environment for learners to develop and refine critical clinical skills.

Urogynecology and Pelvic Medicine staff surgeons and fellows engaged in a comprehensive surgical simulation focusing on laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy at our Skills Centre.
Stryker supported the session, providing their IRIS stents and visual equipment for procedural training.
This hands-on training provided an opportunity to refine technical skills, review anatomical landmarks, and enhance proficiency in a key pelvic floor reconstructive procedure.

2nd-year NSCC Health Information Management students currently on practicum are taking part in a focused simulation experience designed to enhance their practical knowledge and readiness for the field.
The session provided the opportunity for students to practice intubation, bronchoscopy, tegaderm-based moulage, and free play with LLEAP simulation software and SimMan 3G+.

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.
