The George and Helen Vari Simulation Centre offers an immersive and interactive learning environment designed to replicate a variety of real-life situations, procedures, and environments and features four rooms with life-like manikins that can recreate a variety of professional situations for both emergency and procedural training to enhance competency in practice.
Using immersive projection technology, two dedicated spaces can be transformed into healthcare settings such as a clinic or hospital and can mimic any home, school, post-secondary institution or community setting, including disaster scenarios, large group gatherings and crime scenes. Students navigate the immersive environment using interactive touch points and 360-cameras. The space can be staged to represent cases, assist with training social workers and home visitors, mimic occupational-therapy and physiotherapy visits and will soon include a life-like home apartment setting that can simulate a client’s home visit and assessment.
