The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada provides support for a distinguished educator to visit a Royal-College accredited simulation centre in Canada each year via the John. G. Wade Visiting Professorship in Patient Safety and Simulation-Based Medical Education.
Teaching Home Care in the Simulated Apartment
As the average age of the population rises, care is moving out of the hospitals and into the homes. Home care may be an option for patients who are recovering after a hospital stay, or for individuals who are dealing with an illness and want to remain at home for as long as safely possible to maintain their existing lifestyle and independence.
On March 29, McGill University’s Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning launched a special Simnovate supplement of the British Medical Journal (BMJ) Simulation and Technology Enhanced Learning. The event, held at the Omni Hotel in Montreal, featured an academic symposium as a sequel to last May’s highly successful Simnovate International Summit, which drew 150 “simnovators” from around the world.

Transforming Health Care Systems – Let's Simulate
The majority role of simulation in health care has been focused upon education of clinicians, with respect to procedural, team-based and communications skills. Simulation centres now abound across the US, Canada and Europe, many of which comprise full scale facilities such as an emergency room, operating suites, outpatient clinic areas, hospital wards, and even patient homes.
