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 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 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 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.

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

The virtual simulation game will require the MLT learner to make critical decisions and actions. The learner will use the reporting tool on what information needs to be communicated and how between themselves and the members of the health care team to foster teamwork and the culture of patient safety.

Scenario: Case designed during the January 2020 COVID-19 outbreak in order to assess and improve team preparedness for safely and effectively caring for a critically ill coronavirus patient from triage through to intubation and disposition in a community hospital. The scenario focusses on system processes more than individual skills. This case was adapted from one […]

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.

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 […]
