The Atlantic Health Training and Simulation Centre (AHTSC) has been in operation since January of 1999. Through a unique partnership between Emergency Health Services Nova Scotia, the Capital District Health Authority, the Departments of Anesthesia, Emergency Medicine and the Division of Critical Care at Dalhousie University. AHTSC faculty are able to provide experiential learning and competency maintenance opportunities to a broad spectrum of health care practitioners utilizing leading-edge simulation-based clinical learning platforms.
What Is the Atlantic Health Training and Simulation Centre?
The Atlantic Health Training and Simulation Centre is a clinical learning facility where faculty utilize the most up-to-date clinical simulation technology to help practitioners develop and enhance their critical thinking and interventional skills.
The clinical simulators used in the centre are highly sophisticated computer based life-sized mannequins and part-task simulators that can demonstrate many clinical signs, physiological responses to the administration of medications, anesthetic, and theraputic gases and approximate tissue-plains for many critical interventions.
