Education Fair highlights College programs, services and
new Health Sciences Centre

Douglas College feted its new Health Sciences Centre at the
David Lam Campus May 1 with pomp and circumstance, plus
gadgets and gizmos galore.

Premier Gordon Campbell officially opened the new Centre,
saying that “thanks to the sophisticated technologies and
excellent instruction, students can hone their clinical skills in
the lab and be fully prepared to take their place on health-care
teams around the province.”

Health Sciences faculty and students showcased the new
technology for the Premier and guests with a simulation using
[-Stan, a hi-fidelity mannequin that can talk, breathe, bleed and
simulate many health conditions.

The opening was followed by the Education Fair, with more

than 60 programs and services taking part.
