SIMU 2000U – Immersion in Critical Care and Perioperative Environments


This course provides students with hands-on exposure to healthcare practice through structured shadowing in critical care and perioperative settings. Working alongside healthcare professionals, students observe interprofessional teamwork, technology use, and communication practices that underpin safe and effective patient care. Through guided reflection and mentorship, learners connect their observations to the principles of simulation-based education introduced in SIMU 1000U . Simulation lab sessions reinforce these experiences by introducing scenario planning and design fundamentals. The course culminates in a collaborative simulation project that integrates safety, teamwork, and inclusivity concepts drawn from practice. By combining observation, reflection, and application, students begin to translate clinical and operational insight into simulation design thinking and professional growth within healthcare learning environments.
