SHSM Health & Wellness Field Trip Highlights

🩺 At TDSS, SHSM students ran hands-on simulation labs for their peers from THVS—showcasing leadership, teamwork, and clinical skill in action.

🚁 At ORNGE Air Ambulance, students toured the hangar, met with pilots and first responders, and had the opportunity to practice intubation on a medical simulation mannequin!

🏥 At Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital, students explored Canada’s first smart hospital and learned how technology and healthcare systems work together to enhance patient care. Presentations covered:

  • Simulation education using 3D-printed wounds
  • Roles like Sim Techs, clinical informatics analysts, and AI/ML specialists
  • The use of smart beds, real-time location systems, Vocera mobile communications, and more
  • Career pathways in Healthcare IT such as Cybersecurity Analyst and Data Analyst
    This immersive experience demonstrated how technology, innovation, and interdisciplinary teamwork keep modern hospitals running 24/7.

🎓 At Canadore College, students toured the healthcare labs and facilities while learning about post-secondary programs in health and wellness.

Huge thanks to our amazing partners for helping our SHSM students gain a clearer picture of the many exciting and meaningful pathways in healthcare!
