Clinical Skills and Simulation Center

Carleton University Simulation Collaborative Mission Statement

We are dedicated to advancing excellence in healthcare education through evidence-informed, simulation-enhanced learning. We provide a dynamic, inclusive, and learner-centered environment that supports both intra-professional and inter-professional development, empowering learners to build confidence, competence, and compassion in their respective fields.

Our program integrates the latest research and best practices in simulation pedagogy to ensure high-impact, experiential learning that mirrors the complexities of real-world healthcare. We place a strong emphasis on patient safety, critical thinking, trauma-informed care, and culturally responsive practice.

By fostering collaboration across disciplines and aligning with Carleton’s mission of public purpose and inclusive education, we aim to cultivate reflective, resilient, and innovative healthcare professionals. Our learners will be prepared to lead, advocate, and transform healthcare delivery in diverse and evolving environments.

Our values include a commitment to:

1. Integrity and Honesty
2. Education and Excellence
3. Respect for Learners, Faculty, and Participants
4. Patient Safety
