This simulation has been developed for intermediate-level Paramedic students to develop the competencies required to attend an out-of-hospital breech delivery. The goal of the simulation is to gain confidence in conducting assessments and obtaining an accurate obstetrical history that will guide patient management.

This virtual simulation game focuses on a virtual healthcare encounter between a nurse nursing student and a mother who just gave birth, working in primary care. The intended learners are undergraduate nursing students (years2-4) having knowledge of maternity nursing. This learning experience incorporates the BUBBLE mnemonic (Breast, Uterus, Bowels, Bladder, Lochia, Episiotomy/Laceration/C-Section Incision) method of […]

The patient gave birth to her first baby, a boy, 3250g. Her son transitioned to life with no difficulties and finished first breastfeeding just before transfer. Her birth history and initial assessment were completed by the labor and delivery nurse and saved in the EMR

You are dispatched to a home for a female in active labour possible imminent delivery. This is a first-party caller. A second ambulance has been dispatched as pre local protocol unknown ETA due to system status.

This maternal/child resource is aimed to support learning for the undergraduate nursing student in any nursing program. The simulation is intended to promote the development of clinical judgement skills through a safe learning environment. The virtual simulation is for students to practice and reflect on newborn assessments while critically analyzing the scenario and completing a […]

This template is a generic and comprehensive guide for the development and documentation of simulation scenarios. It is intended to be applicable to any profession (including interprofessional scenarios), any healthcare field, and for most simulation modalities. Members of the Simulation Canada community produced it following a review of the literature on best practices in scenario […]

The PEARLS for Systems Integration Debreifng Tool is now available as a free colour download.

Since the publication of the 2011 report Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice, few tools have been developed to evaluate attitudes that reflect the competencies. The Interprofessional Assessment Scale (IPAS) was developed and validated with this purpose in mind.

This is a multiple patient scenario involving 3 patients in the Observation Unit following a MVC. (1) R/O fetal distress/injury; (2) R/O Head Injury; (3) Splenic Laceration. Patient A is a 35 y.o. mother, 19 weeks pregnant that was driving herself and her pre-school son to a clinic appointment when she was in a collision. […]

Badia was rated as high-risk from the Healthy Babies community health nurse for multiple reasons, including her young age, lack of family support, pre-mature birth with low birth weight, single mother, and chain cigarette smoker. Badia has agreed to have a nurse visit her in her apartment for an initial assessment.

This resource was created to deliver a 2.5 hour small group interactive workshop geared for medical students on their obstetrical rotation. It enables students to understand the care activities in the obstetrics unit and how students may most effectively learn and provide care to patients in this clinical setting.

This item outlines an approach to incorporate an disclosure meeting after an adverse event/patient safety incident occurs in an obstetrical context using an OSCE format. Assessment of communication skills and professionalism is discussed.

This is an evaluation form that can be used to measure students’ simulation performance in many disciplines within healthcare. The Global Rating Scale has been designed to be best utilized with hands-on scenarios in the simulation teaching environment.

This scenario is designed to allow health care professionals to come together and work as a team around a critically ill newborn using advanced-technology simulation either in the simulation centre or in-situ. Once the pre-brief (including orientation if need be) and briefing is complete the scenario starts. The health care team arrives either ‘en-masse’ or […]

The Simulation Session Booking and Planning Form is useful for simulation centre co-coordinators to find out about the learning objectives of the simulation session that an instructor would like to create, and to acquire basic logistics information such as type of participants, number of participants, length of simulation, etc. It can be e-mailed to the […]

This scenario was developed to enhance the learning experience of the RPN student during semester 3 lab related to Blood Administration. The focus is to recognize signs and symptoms of blood transfusion reactions, react approptriately to manage event while using effective communication. The students are first briefed using a worksheet that includes important patient information: […]
