The Centre for Interprofessional Clinical Simulation Learning (CICSL) is an innovative education centre that opened in September 2015. CICSL is designed to provide advanced clinical simulation learning opportunities for healthcare students and professionals on Vancouver Island.
This project is a component of the Island Simulation Initiative, which aims to increase healthcare simulation opportunities and collaboration on Vancouver Island and integrate with other simulation centres across British Columbia. Interprofessional collaboration is at the heart of this Centre.
Our Partners
CICSL was founded as a joint collaboration between Island Health, University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine's Island Medical Program and the University of Victoria School of Human and Social Development's School of Nursing. We also work with other members of our community including the Canadian Armed Forces and the British Columbia Institute of Technology. With its unique design, CICSL not only hosts multiple professions, it also encourages frequent team participation, and communication between our partners to provide opportunities to learn with, from and about each other.
