A fundraising goal of $1.1 million for the Friends of the Moncton Hospital Foundation.
This will help address gaps in hands-on learning and support the retention, recruitment and education of medical staff.
With the funds, they want to install two Simulation Labs (Sim Labs) that will be designed to allow healthcare providers to practise and hone their skills through real-life scenarios on lifelike, computerized “smart mannequins”.
Simulationist, Dr. Angus MacDonald says, “It affects every discipline and reaches every inch of our hospital. It can even help us recruit and retain health care professionals, including physicians and nurses.”
The Labs will help with everything from routine procedures to delivering babies, to life-saving procedures and surgery – ultimately saving lives.
The Foundation’s vision is to raise $1.1 Million:
• $850,000 for equipment and technology for two Sim Labs at TMH and
• $250,000 for the creation of an endowment to support the retention, recruitment, and education of medical
staff.
