Thank you for investing in teaching, in students and in the physicians of tomorrow! It is essential for the future of care provided at your Hospital.

The simulation room offers our students skills and safety, with efficiency.

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.

You’ve just watched a simulation with a high-fidelity mannequin, supervised by professors trained in simulation. And yet, you would’ve thought you were watching a real emergency room in action! It’s that realistic.

The advantages of simulation? Students learn how to work with other health professionals and manage stress in a completely safe setting, with the most advanced technologies, and with no risk to the patient. This will equip them better for the day they’re in a real emergency situation. Especially because they’re using the same equipment they’ll be using at the Hospital.

What is a simulation room?

When you fund innovative teaching initiatives like the simulation room, you’re contributing to training the next generation of medical professionals and to the continuous training of care staff. You’re also consolidating Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne’s role as a major hub of university teaching.

Louise and Denis S. Arcand, they’re saying THANK YOU!

The simulation room is a Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne project. But it’s also the philanthropic project of Louise and Denis S. Arcand. Investing in teaching, in students and in the physicians of tomorrow is essential for the future of care provided at the Hospital. That’s something the Arcands have fully understood!

We’re impressed to see the results of our investment. It’s as if we were in a real emergency room. It’s fantastic!

What a joy to visit the simulation room alongside the donors! It’s always a special moment to see the curiosity, satisfaction and pride in the completion of a philanthropic project. Thank you, Louise and Denis S. Arcand, for the wonderful adventure we experienced together.

Thank you for propelling us into the modern era in training medical students, residents and health professionals at the Hospital, to the great benefit of the population of the Montérégie.

Thank you for enabling residents, students and staff at the Hospital to practise in safe conditions.

We use the simulation room all the time. Thank you!

It’s one of our favourite days. Truly!

Yes! I want to support the next generation of medical professionals.

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.
