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 partnered with like-minded organizations to help build a health innovation ecosystem that encouraged growth and created a competitive advantage for Alberta innovators. These Platform Partnerships helped innovators in Alberta’s health industry overcome hurdles associated with developing products and achieving product-market fit, while supporting business readiness and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The NAIT CAMS Innovation Platform received two rounds of funding from Alberta Innovates. An 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.
A second $1.27 million grant supported the next phase of the project, helping companies test products and services for commercialization, develop training materials for those products and services, and expand NAIT’s reach to companies and innovators across Alberta and Canada.
