Page 29 - An Innovation Spirit ...

Peter Munk Cardiac Centre is now
building an education centre to house
its Program for Inter-Professional
Competency Optimization (PICO).
Plans for the centre include
simulation and observation spaces
where health-care professionals in
Canada and from around the world
can learn and practise the innovations
developed at the PMCC.

“The idea is for health-care
professionals to have a dedicated
program for learning new skills,
incorporating four essential elements:
a workstation-based teaching
laboratory for advanced image
analysis; a simulation space where
they can perform diagnostic and
interventional procedures, including
use of life-like phantoms; a period of
clinical attachment where they can go
and observe how things are done and
gain knowledge at a deeper level; and
a dedicated, state-of-the-art education
center where they can have time for
reflective learning” says Dr. Paul. “To
my knowledge, when this is built, it
will be the only place of its kind in
the world.”
