78-year-old female patient is on day 2 post-op on the surgery floor. The patient refuses to ambulate postoperatively and develops a deep vein thrombosis in her right calf. Today she came to the ER and patient reports being short of breath and that her breathing is very ‘fast’

You are enacting the role of a nurse on a surgical unit in a hospital. Throughout the simulation, you will be asked to select the correct response to various questions posed which will then illuminate the continue button to enable you to progress.

In this scenario you will care for a client receiving a blood product who experiences a mild transfusion reaction.

The patient was arriving at home when they suddenly started with respiratory distress.

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

During this simulation, you will inhabit the role of a clinical practicum student in their final week of a clinical chemistry rotation. You will work closely with a medical laboratory technologist who is in charge of the local quality assurance program. You will interact with short term and long term quality control data, and learn […]

In this simulation, you will be acting as a Medical Laboratory Professional at a small town Hospital. While you work, you will have to troubleshoot quality control issues that arise.

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.

The player is a student technologist on practicum at a clinical site. Due to the blood bank being abnormally busy, the preceptor gives the student access to the LIS, reagents, and SOPs. A series of levels will parallel mastery learning of basic to more difficult concepts and include interpretation, technical errors, understanding of the method, […]

The learner is working a day shift on an inpatient surgical unit and receives a post-operative patient from the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU). The learner will communicate pertinent elements about the patient to other members of the health care team as appropriate using ISBAR.

You will proceed through a session with a preceptor in the Toxicology Department. You are joining your preceptor for the first day in the department. Today you will be assisting in the operation of mass spectrometry. They will be asking you questions. They will discuss different components and principles of mass spectrometry and their applications. […]

Never seen a mass spectrometer in action? No worries. This virtual gaming simulation puts the learner in the driver’s seat as an entry level medical laboratory technologist who utilizes a mass spectrometer within the newborn screening department in our virtual Affinity Laboratory. This simulation will focus on the troubleshooting aspects of mass spectrometry including an […]

This simulation involves a crime, a crime scene investigation, suspect DNA obtainment, and PCR testing of the Crime scene DNA and suspect DNA samples. ​Warning: This molecular technique simulation described a deceased person and crime scene investigation.

A patient is brought to the E.R. and will be in need of a post-operative blood transfusion. The transfusion is halted when the patient begins to display symptoms indicative of a transfusion reaction. A transfusion reaction protocol is initiated. You will take the role of a Medical Laboratory Technologist working in the Transfusion Medicine Lab.

This simulation is intended to be completed individually to enhance the learner’s knowledge and application of embedding theory. As a Laboratory Technologist on this simulated embedding bench, you will be required to perform maintenance on the embedding station and troubleshoot previously embedded blocks that did not meet quality standards.

This simulation allows users to explore the inside and outside of a hematology analyzer. The principles of flow cytometry in the context of a hematology analyzer and common issues are highlighted.

Gas chromatography remains testing methodology that is utilized within specialized laboratories. This means that few of our medical laboratory technologist learners are able to truly experience procedures that use gas chromatography. Until now that is! Learners are able to immerse themselves in the Toxicology Department within the virtual Affinity Laboratory to perform an alcohol screen […]

The learner plays the role of a newly hired technologist at a small local hospital. This is their first shift after recently being trained on the bench. Learners will be required to identify the correct quality control tissues, collect the required procedures and reagents, as well as perform special staining. After the staining, the learner […]

You will proceed through the workflow of operating a large complex chemistry analyzer as a Medical Laboratory Technologist working independently. There are other technologists working that may interact with you based on the choices that you make. Your shift will include reviewing QC results, specimen integrity, and patient results, while initiating correct follow-up as required. […]

This virtual simulation is a collection of 8 games that require the learner to take on the role of an MLT to treat 8 different patients. The learner will need to determine common clinically significant bacterial pathogens according to body site in each case.

This simulation will allow learners to process a variety of Microbiology specimens by choosing correct media, incubation conditions and direct smear options. A Standard operating procedure document will be used for the simulation.

This simulation is designed to allow the learner to practice reading and interpretation of a variety of Antimicrobial susceptibility tests.

This game promotes the application of knowledge required to receive patient samples in a clinical laboratory. Appropriate sample receipt is necessary for best patient results. Communicating to other healthcare professionals is imperative to interprofessional relationships and adequate patient care.
