Centre for Interprofessional Clinical Simulation Learning

Skills Training
At CICSL we are committed to supporting the development and maintenance of clinical skills.
This work is enhanced through the use of observation tools and task trainers. Our observation tools can be utilized in multiple ways, from initial introduction, for peer-to-peer support and deliberate practice, through to assessment for and of learning.
Our task trainers are available at CICSL and can be loaned to sites around the island. Please contact cicsl@islandhealth.ca
If you have recently used one of our task trainers for skills training we would love to hear your feedback by completing this short RedCap Survey.
On behalf of the three partners, Darin\\u2019s role is to assure that the Centre\\u2019s mission and values are reflected in the work that we do. As an Emergency Department Clinical Nurse Educator, Darin has galvanized his career around a passion for excellence in resuscitation, and an ongoing commitment to assuring improved clinician and patient outcomes. Central to this work is the belief that in healthcare, communication matters, and is best viewed as procedure that can be enhanced through consideration and simulation.<\\\/p>\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":16},\"typography_font_weight\":\"300\",\"typography_line_height\":{\"unit\":\"em\",\"size\":2},\"text_color\":\"#000000\",\"align_mobile\":\"center\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"text-editor\"},{\"id\":\"0ebb2bb\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"text\":\"Contact\",\"link\":{\"url\":\"mailto:darin.abbey@islandhealth.ca\",\"is_external\":\"\",\"nofollow\":\"\"},\"align\":\"right\",\"text_shadow_text_shadow\":{\"horizontal\":0,\"vertical\":0,\"blur\":8,\"color\":\"rgba(0,0,0,0.3)\"},\"button_text_color\":\"#FFFFFF\",\"background_color\":\"#0F426A\",\"button_box_shadow_box_shadow\":{\"horizontal\":1,\"vertical\":1,\"blur\":10,\"spread\":0,\"color\":\"rgba(0,0,0,0.5)\"},\"selected_icon\":{\"value\":\"far fa-envelope\",\"library\":\"fa-regular\"}},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"button\"}],\"isInner\":true},{\"id\":\"36c8083d\",\"elType\":\"column\",\"settings\":{\"_column_size\":50,\"_inline_size\":null,\"border_border\":\"solid\",\"border_width\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"top\":\"1\",\"right\":\"1\",\"bottom\":\"1\",\"left\":\"1\",\"isLinked\":true},\"border_color\":\"#000000\",\"margin\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"top\":\"0\",\"right\":\"0\",\"bottom\":\"0\",\"left\":\"15\",\"isLinked\":false},\"padding\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"top\":\"35\",\"right\":\"35\",\"bottom\":\"35\",\"left\":\"35\",\"isLinked\":true},\"margin_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"top\":\"25\",\"right\":\"0\",\"bottom\":\"0\",\"left\":\"0\",\"isLinked\":false}},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"726201c2\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"image\":{\"id\":8650,\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/bcsimulation.ca\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/06\\\/Anna-ID-Photo-June-edit.png\",\"alt\":\"\",\"source\":\"library\",\"size\":\"\"},\"title_text\":\"Anna Macdonald\",\"description_text\":\"Manager\",\"position\":\"left\",\"image_space\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":20},\"image_size\":{\"unit\":\"%\",\"size\":35},\"text_align\":\"left\",\"content_vertical_alignment\":\"middle\",\"title_bottom_space\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":10},\"title_color\":\"#0F426A\",\"title_typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"title_typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":30},\"title_typography_font_weight\":\"bold\",\"description_color\":\"#000000\",\"description_typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"description_typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":15},\"description_typography_font_weight\":\"300\",\"description_typography_text_transform\":\"uppercase\",\"description_typography_letter_spacing\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":5},\"description_typography_line_height\":{\"unit\":\"em\",\"size\":0.1},\"text_align_mobile\":\"center\",\"title_typography_font_size_tablet\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":25},\"description_typography_font_size_tablet\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":12},\"description_typography_letter_spacing_tablet\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":3},\"thumbnail_size\":\"1536x1536\",\"_border_border\":\"none\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"image-box\"},{\"id\":\"72e01e4d\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"editor\":\"
