Our Facilities Overview

The ATSSL is located on the University of Calgary Foothills Campus, and comprises three separate facilities designed to optimize the educational experiences learners engage in. Our Surgical Skills Laboratory (SSL) is located in the basement of the Health Research Innovation Centre (HRIC). Our Clinical Skills Laboratory (CSL) is located on the ground floor of the Health Sciences Centre (HSC), and our Special Procedures Laboratory (SPL), along with our Body Donation Program (BDP), are located in basement of the HSC.

We are committed to providing a psychologically safe environment for learners to progressively build their skills as they apply their knowledge in a variety of simulation based educational experiences. Our goal is to facilitate skill integration and reflection in a way that enables learners to continually enhance their clinical and surgical practices.
