News about your impact

Dive into a behind-the-scenes peek of a simulation with our medical residents!

March 18, 2024

A patient who’s been having convulsions for 25 minutes is on his way to the Hospital. He arrives. Jasmin, Agnès, Thomas, Alice and Carolane, all medical students or residents, are working around him. They take his vital signs. They administer medication. They provide ventilatory support. They manage to stabilize him. The patient can now be transferred to intensive care.

Watch a live simulation, through our photo-report or video, with a high-fidelity mannequin, supervised by professors trained in simulation. You will think you are in a real emergency room, as it feel so realistic!

The simulation room is ready!

March 17, 2023

The new site at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of Université de Sherbrooke was inaugurated by representatives of the Ministère de la Santé, right across from Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne!

And the high-fidelity simulation room so generously funded by Louise and Denis S. Arcand—and boasting some of the most modern high-tech equipment in Québec—is now up and running! It already received its first 24 students on March 6.

We will never be able to express just how grateful we are to our generous donors. Louise and Denis S. Arcand made a $2M donation, the largest private donation ever received by the Foundation, through a gift of their RIFF. An extraordinary legacy for generations of future physicians!

It’s your donations that power the development of Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne, which now ranks among the major teaching hospitals!

A project made possible thanks to people of heart

December 21, 2021

Investing in the education, students and doctors of tomorrow is essential for the future of hospital care. The simulation room is a project of your Hospital, but it is also the philanthropic project of Louise and Denis S. Arcand.

Life has served us well. We are now at a respectable age. We were starting to think about what we would do with our money when we died, we wanted to leave money to hospitals.
We contacted the Foundation’s Executive Director, Nathalie Boudreau, who presented us with the project of the Faculty of Medicine at Université de Sherbrooke.

Dive into a behind-the-scenes peek of a simulation with our medical residents!

Today, Dr. Philippe Dubuc, Professor of Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine at Université de Sherbrooke, is spending the day training family medicine and emergency medicine students and residents. Their internship includes one day of training in the new high-fidelity simulation room located in the Jean-Marc Lepage Pavilion of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Université de Sherbrooke, right across from Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne. Dr. Dubuc explains to the students and residents how the next simulation is going to roll out. The simulation can now begin.

We’re in the simulation room. You’d think it was the real deal! All of the medical equipment is available in this room (crash cart, defibrillator, vital signs monitors, etc.). Dr. Marie-Adèle Hacala, who is part of the teaching team, gives instructions to the students. A patient who has been having convulsions for 25 minutes is on his way. Today, Jasmin Collerette-Tremblay (on the left) is leading the team. He is accompanied, from left to right, by Thomas Larente, Agnès Côté, Alice Dudemaine and Carolane Brazeau.

First step: take the vital signs of the patient, played by a high-fidelity robot mannequin able to reproduce certain pathologies. The vital signs are controlled by the trainers. The mannequins can breathe, cough, choke… This one is having convulsions.

The team continues to assess the patient. The mannequin can be connected to real monitors, adding realism for the learners. The students must take the same steps they would in a real-life situation to save a patient’s life.

The mannequin’s impressive functions enable students to administer the medication being prepared by Thomas Larente.

Alice Dudemaine provides ventilatory support to the patient who is no longer breathing on his own.

During this time, behind the tinted glass, in the control room raised above the shock room, Dr. Dubuc observes the simulation as it plays out. He’s accompanied by Vanessa Boudreau, Clinical Simulation Centre Technician, who is controlling the mannequin and the various screens. Dr. Dubuc is in constant communication with Dr. Marie-Adèle Hacala. They work together to move the scenario along in a realistic fashion based on the actions taken by the students.

Jasmin Collerette-Tremblay gives instructions to the members of his team.

The patient’s condition is stabilized. He can be transferred to intensive care.

Dr. Marie-Adèle Hacala ends the simulation.

It’s time to debrief. This immediate post-simulation discussion is the most important aspect of the entire process. The simulation of the resuscitation of a critically ill patient was successful.

Now it’s time to relax. Thank you to the professors and students for allowing us to experience this ultra-realistic simulation in real time. And thank you to the donors, Louise and Denis S. Arcand, accompanied by Nathalie Boudreau, President and Executive Director at the Fondation Hôpital Charles-Le-Moyne, for having propelled the training of our students into the modern era through their donation of this magnificent room.
