To better train health-care professionals in the fight against COVID-19, rapid response simulations are critical for mimicking the realities hospitals currently face.
The University of Ottawa’s Skills and Simulation Centre, in partnership with the Ottawa Hospital, is using a combination of technologies, including virtual reality, to help medical workers run through several frontline scenarios.
An estimated 250 doctors and nurses completed the exercises, while many more have completed specialized training to work in settings, such as, intensive care units, obstetrics and emergency rooms.
