Take a look inside the Patient Care Simulator lab

The Centre for Advanced Patient Care Simulation lab provides an immersive learning opportunity in a clinical environment and a fully functional treatment area within the back of an ambulance.

The Centre is stocked with sophisticated and realistic patient simulation manikins that can mimic human physiological parameters such as breathing, pulses, blinking, and speaking.

You'll interact with the manikins as you would real patients, assessing, making treatment decisions, applying the treatment, and observing responses within a typical healthcare team setting.

The centre's philosophy is to provide you with a realistic environment in which you can safely make mistakes and learn from them, better preparing you for experience in the real world.

You'll be challenged with difficult patient care problems that can be recreated repeatedly until confidence and competence are achieved.

You'll typically find the simulation environment one of the most challenging and enjoyable parts of your learning at SAIT.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.

SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.

We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
