Simulation & Clinical Skills
Transforming Learning into Clinical Competence
Providing safe, experiential learning environments where students and healthcare professionals develop clinical, procedural, communication, and teamwork competencies through simulation, deliberate practice, feedback, and reflection.
About
Simulation-based education and clinical skills training are integral to health professions education, providing safe and structured environments where students develop competencies through experiential learning, deliberate practice, feedback, reflection, and assessment.
Learning progresses from focused clinical and procedural skills to complex patient-care scenarios that integrate clinical reasoning, communication, teamwork, professional behaviours, and collaborative decision-making.
Simulation also enables students from different health professions to learn and practice together, strengthening interprofessional collaboration, patient safety, and readiness for clinical practice improvement.
