Manitoba nursing students enter virtual reality world

Simulation labs

Students have the chance to develop their critical thinking and skills in a risk-free environment designed to reflect real-life settings and situations. Our interactive simulation rooms include a pediatric unit, two maternity units, an adult unit, as well as a multipurpose space. We have the ability to make the simulation high fidelity by using manikins or standardized patients, or low fidelity using task trainers and role playing.

Skills lab

Our skills lab gives students the chance to understand the patient experience, practice skills in a safe environment and gain experience required for interdisciplinary teamwork.

Hospital simulation emphasizes teamwork
