Simulations & Student Learning: Building an interdisciplinary community of practice in Atlantic Canada In June 2017, Dalhousie University hosted the Simulations & Student Learning Symposium. This event brought three internationally renowned experts to Halifax for an intensive workshop on expanding and enriching simulation-based learning. Now an interdisciplinary team of researchers and instructors is travelling across Atlantic Canada to continue this conversation and help instructors effectively design, execute, and evaluate simulations. All faculty members and graduate students interested in using simulation-based learning in their teaching are welcome to attend this event! Presenter Dr. Anna MacLeod, Associate Professor and Director of Education Research, is a medical educator who uses case-based learning to deliver undergraduate curriculum, which involves students working collaboratively to explore a clinical scenario that simulates real-life medical practice. Anna developed the guidelines and case writing template that are used throughout the undergraduate medical education program. The event will take place on November 23 from 2:00 to 3:30 pm in Room 104 of the K.C. Irving Chemistry Centre. For more information, contact Gerald Wandio at fdo@upei.ca or 902-620-5217.
