About CAMS
Our 500+ simulation-training scenarios allow healthcare professionals and emergency personnel to gain confidence practicing critical skills in caring for patients safely and effectively in high-pressure situations.
Our ten state-of-the-art interactive simulation theatres with behind-the-scenes observation spaces, including a full-scale ambulance simulator, can replicate any clinical, community care, home care or emergency scenario environment for accurate testing and emergency response
training.
We can modify a wide array of variables – temperature, noise, visuals, smells and actors to help maintain accuracy and control over your unique set of project requirements.
Our Mission
Transform patient care through medical simulation, education, technology, and applied research.
Our Vision
Support hands-on, immersive simulation in a flexible, interprofessional setting to ensure the highest standard of quality, interactive education.
Our Goal
Enhance patient safety for students and industry professionals by providing adaptable, real-world scenarios.
Partners and funding providers
Alberta Innovates - Health Innovation Platform Partnerships (HIPP)
The Alberta Innovates HIPP program partners with like-minded organizations to help build a health innovation ecosystem that encourages growth and a competitive advantage for Alberta innovators. These Platform Partnerships will help Alberta’s innovators in the health industry overcome the hurdles associated with developing products and product-market fit, ensuring business readiness and complying with regulatory requirements.
The NAIT CAMS Innovation Platform has received two rounds of funding from Alberta Innovates. The initial $200,000 grant allowed NAIT to conduct market research and create a proof of concept, which was tested by two Alberta medical device companies. With funds received from the second $1.27M grant, the NAIT CAMS Innovation Platform will focus on helping companies test products and services for commercialization, developing training materials for the products and services, and expanding NAIT’s reach to companies and innovators across Alberta and Canada.
