The McMaster Center for Simulation-Based Learning is hosting a new series of virtual sims!

The Virtual Handover Workshop and Virtual First Responders Workshops are team-based simulation workshops where you get the chance to work in interprofessional teams to respond to common clinical challenges and participate in an interprofessional response to a deteriorating patient.

Due to COVID-19, clinical exposure to Code Blues and interprofessional learning have been limited, so this is a great opportunity to build these skills in a safe and supportive environment. Learners of all levels are welcome to attend.
