Building Skills and Knowledge Through Simulation

This week’s vlog highlights the work of our provincial eSIM team and their work during the pandemic. This team has been helping to support the COVID-19 efforts by developing and facilitating exercises that allow participants to practice their skills in a simulated, realistic environment.

In fact, the eSIM team has been coordinating and training hundreds of clinical and non-clinical teams across the province on their COVID-19 response since early March.

Joining me to discuss are:

• Dr. Vince Grant, medical director of eSIM
• Mirette Dubé, a simulation consultant in Calgary
• Monika Johnson, a simulation consultant in Grande Prairie

Vince, Mirette and Monika share examples of the work they’ve done with teams, challenges they have faced, and some innovations they’ve made in working with rural communities.
