Educators have rapidly adopted virtual simulation – including screen-based simulations, virtual gaming simulations, and extended reality – in recent years. There is now a growing body of research on ways to effectively embed virtual experiences into an educational program to optimize learning. This workshop is the only one of its kind, created specifically for educators […]

Take the next step to advancing your simulation career! Introducing our NEW advanced and innovative simulation educator training program designed for graduates of Simulation Canada’s Keystones program or equivalent simulation educator training. Our new Advanced Keystones program offers a combination of focussed modules on critical topics in simulation, followed by a personal project with coaching […]

Simulation Canada’s periodically offers webinars on key and emerging issues in healthcare simulation. Most webinars are free for staff of Organizational Members and for SIMadvocates, and $30 otherwise. Details on individual webinars, including a description, learning objectives, and presenter information, are available from the webinar-specific pages listed on our events calendar. The same industry sponsors who helped us to […]

Enhance engagement and learning in your simulation scenarios!  Participants will develop improved understanding, attitude and skills for best practices in scenario design, creating a narrative, and dramatic techniques for enhancing clinical teaching and learning. Participants will examine how these concepts and exercises can add to their simulations and enhance students’ understanding of the content being […]

Offered in partnership with Healthcare Systems Simulation International, this 6-week virtual, interactive course is the gateway to harnessing systems focused simulation and debriefing to improve patient safety, operational efficiencies and care quality. Our course is evidence informed, includes easy to use tools and cognitive aids, and provides a clear roadmap to success. Our international and interprofessional […]

By definition, simulation is the imitation of some real thing, state of affairs, or process. But it is also much more than this. Simulation helps achieve educational goals. From the multiple ways of observing a simulation, a rich wealth of feedback is available for learners to absorb and use in their development as health care […]

Cet atelier est offert uniquement en anglais. Offered in partnership with professors Paula Mastrilli (George Brown College) and Margaret Verkuyl (Centennial College) and the Virtual Simulation Community of Learning, we are excited to offer their highly-acclaimed virtual workshop on virtual simulations! Join us in a two-day, hands-on workshop where you will learn a step-by-step process for […]

Briefing, Debriefing, and Facilitating a Simulation is two-day intensive course that will enable students to: 1) Develop an understanding of the essential principles of briefing, debriefing, and facilitation techniques in simulation-based learning; and 2) develop the right attitudes and skills for effective use of briefing, debriefing, and facilitation techniques during simulations. Students will gain current and relevant knowledge […]

Our online micro-course series provides accessible, affordable, just-in-time learning for the new normal in simulation. They may be taken individually or as a complementary package. NOW available asynchronously! With clinical placement opportunities limited by the pandemic, many schools are emphasizing simulation opportunities for learners to gain essential skills and experiences. Accordingly, educators are adapting their roles – some entering simulation […]
