The CSC is excited to be participating again this year at the Kingston Science Rendezvous. Come say Hi! :) FREE family event! SATURDAY, MAY 11, 2019... 10 am to 3 pm The Leon's Centre 1 The Tragically Hip Way See more

Today at the Clinical Simulation Center we ran the Anesthesia Sr. Airway Workshop for their 4th and 5th year residents. We combined our cric training models that we made in house with high fidelity simulation. #MedicalSimulation #Innovation #MedicalEducation

Thanks to Zoriana and the team at ECHO Healthcare for bringing their very #realistic Lifecast Body Simulation Ltd manikins to the Clinical Simulation Centre. We also had the pleasure of exploring ECHO's very cool VR technology from Oxford Medical Simulation. #Thefutureofsimulation

Hi everyone, Echo Healthcare will be coming to our lab Friday November 30th 2018 at noon doing a demo of their products for our lab. (School of Medicine CSC) They have confirmed they are bringing a Lifecast Infant and Kid. They will also be bringing some VR gear for us to have a look at.... Feel free to just informally pop by and invite any of your colleagues. Some of ECHO’s products they offer: https://echo.healthcare/lifecast-body-simulation https://echo.healthcare/f/lifecast-body-simulation-is-here https://echo.healthcare/ https://m.facebook.com/echohealthcareSim/

We did it - we won the Innovation Award at the SimOne Expo today!! Queen's has the perfect sim storm with a great group of educators. Dean Reznick and Leslie Flynn have always supported and inspired new projects while our Director, Dan Howes, is an inspirational and creative innovator. All the faculty and staff at the CSC have contributed to the curriculum growth which includes things like in situ, CPD, CBME IPE, research and our new Centre for the Future of Simulation - the ingredients of our success.

SimOne has short listed the CSC for a Sim Innovator Award. Here is why they picked us: Faculty of Health Sciences, Queen's University, ON for world-leading applications of simulation in competency-based education, for services provided to regional hospitals as well as the university, and for establishing the Centre for the Future of Simulation. The Award winner will be announced at the SimOne 2018 Expo in Calgary in Nov.

We are proud to share the CSC 2018 $5,000 research studentship recipients: Daniel Rusiecki (Supervisor: Tim Chaplin Emergency Medicine: Project - In Situ Simulation to Identify Latent Safety Threats in the KGH Emergency Department) and Edward Sykes (Supervisor: Boris Zevin Surgery: Project Evaluating the burst pressure of simulated bowel anastomosis constructing using the Reverse Half-Hitch Alternating Post Knots).

Minimally invasive surgery in the palm of your hand The SimuSurg app, created by surgeons for surgeons simulates minimally invasive surgery. It provides an engaging, fun and interactive way to perform surgical skills in a gaming environment.

Some awesome behind the scenes shots of SimMan 3G in moulage for a chemical hazard simulation, as well as a view from the control room during the Emergency Sr Resuscitation Rounds session!

The CSC is lending Jessica Burjorjee, Queen’s Anesthetist and sim guru, a mannequin and equipment for her Health City booth. She will give visitors an opportunity to view some of the latest technology used by medical and nursing students, as well as residents at Queen’s University to learn resuscitation skills such as airway management and cardiovascular life support.

Come check us out #ScienceRendezvousKingston Saturday May 12th 2018 The Rogers K-Rock Center at 10:00am to 3:00pm.

This morning the Resuscitation Fellows had an awesome birthing session with our birthing manikin Noelle!
