Sim Doll
We need a new simulation doll for CHEO’s SIM lab.
Will you help train the next generation of medical professionals?
Have you ever wondered how doctors and nurses safely gain real-life practice with medical procedures on young children and babies?
One way is by using a state-of-the-art simulation (SIM) lab, equipped with a simulation doll like the one you see here, [ensure a photo or two are used that link to this copy] that can mimic pediatric patients.
Will you help purchase a new sim doll today?
A new SIM doll will cost $78,000, as the doll is well-equipped to showcase many real-life emergency symptoms and vital signs.
The doll’s chest moves, its eyes blink, it can have seizures and cry or show symptoms of not getting enough oxygen as its lips turn blue.
As a leading teaching hospital, CHEO depends on the SIM lab to safely teach and train healthcare professionals, as well as patient families. More than 1,700 people have used the lab to date!
We need to add a new simulation doll to meet the need for more training.
Will you help?
