Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s School of Nursing faculty developed the clinical simulation education project in partnership with 12 other university schools of nursing, four colleges, and Ontario카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Simulation Network (SIM-one).  Several universities that received PIF funding will showcase their new clinical simulations at the conference.

The equipment includes life-like mannequins for students to practice various techniques on.

This is the first time all 13 partner universities with four year degree programs are working together to develop unique education modules. These modules will be put into a large repository for use across the province.
