A new state-of-the-art patient simulation centre has opened at the Clinical Academic Campus of UBC’s Southern Medical Program at Kelowna General Hospital. The facility is supported by a $500,000 donation from The Colin & Lois Pritchard Foundation.
The Pritchard Simulation Centre – a joint venture between the UBC Faculty of Medicine and Interior Health – will replicate a variety of high-risk / low-probability medical scenarios to provide hands-on training experience.
The centre will be used for medicine and nursing education and continuing professional development, particularly for cardiac and critical-care personnel.
