Centre for Collaborative Clinical Learning and Research

*COVID INFORMATION*

Facilitating an integrated approach to learning

The Centre for Collaborative Clinical Learning and Research supports the development of critical diagnostic and patient care skills through simulation-based learning and assessment methods. Health care students, residents and practicing professionals will use the centre to:

• practice conducting interviews and physical assessments
• develop procedural skills
• enhance patient-centred communication skills

A safe place to practice

Purpose-built for interprofessional learning, the centre presides over more than 1900 m² of space that includes:

• A simulation centre for specialized clinical skills training in the health science professions.
  
• Simulated patient care labs, clinic rooms and seminar rooms.
  
• Specifically designed homecare, rehabilitation and hospital settings to enable realistic, simulation-based learning.

A wide range of experience

The centre offers experience from simulated patient educators (SPEs) of diverse backgrounds, and a procedural skills coordinator. These educators specialize in the delivery of simulation-based learning and assessment across a range of health education curricula:

• teaching
• curriculum design
• OSCE development
• remediation
• self-assessment
• patient-centred communication skills
• feedback skills
