New Simulation Centre Provides State of the Art Learning Tools
The Regina Qu?Appelle Health Region?s new Dilawri?Simulation Centre is now open, giving both health care providers and students a chance to practice their skills in a safe and realistic environment. Funding from the Dilawri?Foundation, the College of Medicine and the Hospitals of Regina Foundation allowed the Centre to be created.?? Interactive learning is excellent for retention of knowledge and skills, and the centre offers wonderful learning opportunities for students and staff alike.
The simulation centre is home to a family of high-fidelity human patient simulators, including a man, woman, child, toddler, infant, and premature baby. The hightech, interactive mannequins can move, talk and replicate most conceivable medical situations that a health care professional might face in treating a real human patient. The fully programmable mannequins are designed?to respond to the treatment that is initiated so that students can see how their actions will directly affect the patient. In the centre, learning sessions are also scheduled with actors to practice skills needed in a clinic setting or when transferring an immobile patient from a bed to a stretcher. For other learning sessions they can work with simulated body parts to practice specific skills.
Above all, the centre offers a safe environment for staff and students to prepare for real patient interaction.
For more information contact the Simulation Centre at (306) 766-0600.
