ST. PATRICK CAMPUS
T
he Temerty Advanced Surgical Education and Simulation Centre (Temerty Centre) proudly boasts the future of innovative surgical medicine. Over the past year, construction has been ongoing to transform the space into a unique environment that will become a hub of advanced surgical simulationbased education and training for health care professionals. A state-of-the-art high-fidelity OR simulation lab, 10-bay self-directed skills lab, telesimulation/ telementoring rooms and an innovation hub are features of Phase 1, which is now complete. Our highly anticipated opening is scheduled for summer 2021*. We very much look forward to hosting you at the Centre, whether it be for a tour, educational programming or honing your skills in one of our labs.
THE SELF-DIRECTED SKILLS LAB The self-directed skills lab includes 10 high-fidelity dry lab bays outfitted with the latest simulation technology, learning tools and educational recording equipment along with 24/7 access. Current and future surgical leaders will be able to use this space to develop and hone their surgical skills leveraging a diverse array of task trainers, virtual reality (VR) modules, and robotics. An option is available for practice sessions to be recorded for later assessment and feedback by experienced surgeons and teachers to facilitate continuous learning and development. This space will be available to book if you are a year three or four medical student, a medical resident or a fellow from a participating surgical program. There will also be faculty-led group training sessions for internal and external learners.
HIGH-FIDELITY OR SIMULATION LAB The OR Simulation Lab provides an opportunity for faculty at UHN and externally, surgeon consultants, and our industry partners to create and deliver new high-fidelity surgical programming. These courses may include robotics, and artificial intelligence. They can be specific to individual surgical specialties or be team-based. The opportunities are endless to create or participate in groundbreaking educational programming. With the ability to broadcast in and out of the OR Simulation Lab we can connect with colleagues around the world to engage in robust teaching and learning sessions. 24 MICHENER.CA/CE
