Through the state-of-the-art Interdisciplinary Health and Community Services Simulation Centre, the opportunities for what is possible in health-care education only continue to grow as we adapt our training to support the needs of our systems and communities. This Centre will engage students from 13 different programs, mirroring actual healthcare and community settings they will experience in the workforce, in a simulated, safe and supportive learning environment.  

We recognize that while training future health care leaders is imperative, equally if not more important is fostering culturally diverse knowledge and understanding in delivering safe and inclusive patient-centered care in our communities.  With guidance and support from the Knowledge Keepers’ Council at RRC Polytech, we integrated Indigenous ways-of-knowing throughout the Centre to celebrate and honor both traditional and western medicines.  Our aim is to ensure that through our simulation programming, students will learn, grow and become an asset to all members of the communities that they will serve and support.
