Join us for Healthcare Simulation Week from Sept. 14 to 18! This year’s theme, “Sim found me,” highlights the different paths and unique journeys that bring people into the world of health-care simulation, and the impact simulation has had on their professional lives.
The Nursing Education team and the University of Ottawa Skills and Simulation Centre (uOSSC) have planned a week of simulation-themed activities and will be spotlighting simulation initiatives on the uOSSC Instagram page. Keep an eye out for these stories and join us in celebrating!
Take part in Healthcare Simulation Week
Simulation Team unit visits
Keep an eye out for the Simulation Team and one of their manikins as they visit units and patients across all three main TOH campuses. Be sure to say hello, ask questions and enjoy a sweet treat.
Activities available for booking
Clinical tactics escape room
Think fast, work together and put your clinical tactics skills to the test in this portable, 30-minute simulation-based escape room.
CPR challenge
Put your CPR skills to the test in friendly competition! Using quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (QCPR) technology, participants will compete head-to-head as high-quality CPR performance powers their virtual ambulance toward the finish line.
