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.

The following virtual simulation promotes the application of knowledge required to perform manual susceptibilities in a medical microbiology laboratory.

The learner will be taking on the role of a transfusion medicine technologist on the Antibody bench. They will guide all decision making and perform all procedures that follow a positive DAT.

This virtual gaming simulation (VGS) is a serious game designed for health care students and professionals. The VGS provides an opportunity for knowledge and skills application, critical thinking and problem-solving in assessing an older adult experiencing dementia. Game players are invited to make decisions in a realistic situation and encouraged to try different approaches.

The VGS provides an opportunity for knowledge and skills application, critical thinking and problem-solving in caring for an agitated older adult with dementia who had recently been admitted in a Long Term Care residence. Game players are invited to […]

In this simulation,you will be asked to make informed decisions regarding how you would best respond to the presented situations. Your choices and responses will remain confidential, you will not be graded on this simulation. However, throughout the simulation, you will be given opportunities to self-reflect, and at the end, there will be a guided […]

During this virtual simulation you will have the opportunity to meet and provide nursing care for the patient.The patient is a 82 year old woman who resides at Shady Oaks Long-term Care Home.

In this scenario, learners will care for an older adult who has had surgery to repair a fractured hip. Learners will identify risk factors and choose priority assessments to complete, evaluate findings and determine which findings require further investigation or intervention. The simulation will take place over several hours during a day shift on an […]
