USask demonstrates importance of simulation learning in health care programs
SASKATOON – Health Care Simulation Week is taking place Sept. 18-22, and the Clinical Learning Resource Centre (CLRC) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) would like to invite local media to experience simulation in action.
Learners from the USask Colleges of Medicine and Nursing will be onsite participating in various health care simulation activities and sharing a glimpse into health care education in the province. The simulation training provided to our future health-care providers at USask facilities increases patient safety in the real world and is an innovative and effective way to demonstrate clinical skills in a safe and controlled environment using modern technologies.
