The following simulation follows a patient through a visit to an acute emergency room setting. The patient experiences fluctuations in vital signs and presents a variety of subjective and objective data cues. The learner is required to cluster data to identify inferences about the client’s health status.

The patient,aged 39, is seeking medical care for stomach pain. The focus of this AI-powered simulation is on collecting a full health history. The learner can then identify which assessments to complete.

You will be meeting the patient after their total right knee arthroplasty (total right knee replacement). This gaming simulation will offer the learner an opportunity to develop critical thinking, decision making and assessment skills when determining care in a post-operative environment.

The patient is 55 years old. They came into the clinic for a checkup stating “I have not been feeling myself lately, and I wanted to get checked”. The patient requires a head-to-toe assessment.

The patient is 65 years old and has been admitted to hospital after having a fall at home. You will hear a handover report from the night nurse and then proceed to begin your shift caring for the patient.

You will be attending to a patient who has just been extricated out of an apartment fire. You will be responsible for assessing, treating and transporting this patient to hospital.

The learners will gain an increased understanding of the support and decision-making required when caring for a client in the context of refusing treatment options/medications.

Bullying can take on many forms, the intent of the simulation is to increase students/nurse’s awareness of bullying behaviors and how to effectively intervene when bullying occurs. Bullying can affect individuals professional and personal lives, impact patient care, and perpetuate negative behaviors in others.

The simulation has been designed to develop critiical thinking skills in nursing practice. The learner will encounter several complex patients in long-term care, recognize which siituations require the expertise of a RN, and when approaches such as advocating for the patient, delegation to another provider, and mentoring colleagues are needed.

The scenario takes place in the Emergency Department (ED) where a team of healthcare professionals receives a patient that has experienced a multiple trauma and subsequent cardiac arrest post motor vehicle accident. The team consists of two Registered Nurses, a Respiratory Therapist, and a Physician. The patient is brought into the ED and his wife […]

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.

The Learner will apply the principles of safe medication administration of an analgesic using different routes in the Pediatric population. You will be required to use clinical judgment, reasoning, critical thinking skills, and past knowledge when choosing the appropriate pain medication based on patients’ history and background knowledge. This scenario is not about the actual […]

The Learner will apply the principles of safe medication administration of an analgesic using different routes in the Adult population. You will be required to use clinical judgment, reasoning, critical thinking skills, and past knowledge when choosing the appropriate pain medication based on patients’ history and background knowledge. This scenario is not about the actual […]

The learner will apply the principles of safe medication administration of a narcotic using different routes in the Geriatric population. You will be required to use clinical judgement, reasoning, critical thinking skills, and pas knowledge when choosing the appropriate narcotic based on the patient’s history and background knowledge. This scenario is not about the actual […]

This maternal/child resource is aimed to support learning for the undergraduate nursing student in any nursing program. The simulation is intended to promote the development of clinical judgement skills through a safe learning environment. The virtual simulation is for students to practice and reflect on newborn assessments while critically analyzing the scenario and completing a […]

Many faculty members feel unprepared to hold discussions and develop plans for helping students meet clinical course objectives. This scenario helps prepare faculty members to develop a plan using a positive growth mindset framework to support students to become successful professionals. The scenario is written for nursing, but could easily be used by a variety […]

The Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) in partnership with the Canadian Alliance of Nurse Educators using Simulation (CAN-Sim) have collaborated to develop and disseminate five virtual simulation modules in both official languages to build capacity among graduating and new registered nurses entering the health care workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic. VSGs have been […]

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 […]

EMR-sim is a computer-based (‚’virtual patient’) simulation to teach clinicians on the challenges of using electronic medical records (EMRs) in the patient-clinician encounter. The scenarios for this project were designed on the basis of a literature review and a research study of the impact of EMRs on the clinical encounter and the strategies and best […]

This virtual patient case, named ‘A fatigued figure’, was the 3rd place winner in the CHEC-CESC Virtual Patient Challenge 2012-2013. The case authors are Ayesha Malik, MSc, MD Candidate, and Kiran Virdy, MD, Faculty of Medicine University of Toronto. This case is designed for medical students and PGY1 in Family Medicine, and is designed as […]

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 […]
