Centre for Advancement of Surgical Education and Simulation

CASES allows surgical trainees and practicing professionals the opportunity to acquire, practice and develop their skills in a safe learning environment.

Centre for Advancement of Surgical Education and Simulation (CASES) strives to operate interdisciplinary simulation enhanced learning programs to enrich the quality of perioperative patient care. While creating a space for trainees and practicing professionals to acquire, practice and integrate skills in a safe environment. Co-designed with academic/operational partners and content experts to provide relevant experiences.

Core Principles

  • Discovery: Facilitating learners to boldly step outside their comfort zone to build competency beyond knowledge and lean into their professional practice.
  • Collaboration: Building multi-disciplinary relational practice.
  • Innovation: Integration of new technologies in training and practice.
  • Iterative: Recognizing this is a dynamic experience that will evolve over time based on feedback from participants.

CASES enables Alberta Health Services and our academic partners to become leaders in simulation-based medical education.
