Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba

The University of Manitoba's Rady Faculty of Health Sciences recently hosted its first Simulation Retreat, featuring hands-on demonstrations and learning sessions.

“Today's retreat isn't really about the technology. It's about the people — the educators, the clinicians, the innovators and the learners — and how we can harness the tools to do what we've always done better: prepare health-care professionals to care for others when it matters most.”
—Lanette Siragusa, vice-dean, education, Rady Faculty
