Students from Timmins High and TDSS took part in an incredible experiential learning opportunity across real-world healthcare settings!.
At TDSS, SHSM students ran hands-on simulation labs for their peers from THVS showcasing leadership, teamwork, and clinical skill in action.
At ORNGE Air Ambulance, students toured the hangar, met with pilots and first responders, and had the opportunity to practice intubation on a medical simulation mannequin!
At Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital, students explored Canada's first smart hospital and learned how technology and healthcare systems work together to enhance patient care. Presentations covered:
- Simulation education using 3D-printed wounds
- Roles like Sim Techs, clinical informatics analysts, and AI/ML specialists
- The use of smart beds, real-time location systems, Vocera mobile communications, and more
- Career pathways in Healthcare IT such as Cybersecurity Analyst and Data Analyst
This immersive experience demonstrated how technology, innovation, and interdisciplinary teamwork keep modern hospitals running 24/7.
At Canadore College, students toured the healthcare labs and facilities while learning about post-secondary programs in health and wellness.
Huge thanks to our amazing partners for helping our SHSM students gain a clearer picture of the many exciting and meaningful pathways in healthcare!
