Our People
The strength of the BCIT School of Health Sciences Simulation Program lies in our dedicated and collaborative team of experts. Our program is led by a Simulation Manager who oversees a group of specialized simulation leads, each bringing unique expertise in areas such as education, operations, virtual simulation, interprofessional learning, and simulated participants.
Supporting our simulation delivery are skilled simulation technologists and program coordinators who work across a variety of disciplines, including undergraduate and specialty nursing, medical laboratory sciences, diagnostics, and allied health. In the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program, a dedicated experiential learning team ensure seamless integration of simulation education into the curriculum.
