Core offering

The Centre d'apprentissage des attitudes et habiletés cliniques (CAAHC) is the Université de Montréal Faculty of Medicine's simulation-based medical education centre. It delivers hands-on clinical skills training for medical students and practicing healthcare professionals through high-fidelity robotic mannequins, standardized patients, clinical communication rooms, telesimulation, and structured programs such as ACLS/SARC certification and renewal, ACLS/BCLS double certification, medical student curricula, and continuing professional development, all browsed and registered through the Lära LMS catalogue.

Product overview

The Centre d'apprentissage des attitudes et habiletés cliniques (CAAHC) is a comprehensive simulation-based medical education center at the Université de Montréal Faculty of Medicine. The center operates as a unified facility offering simulation training through its physical infrastructure (simulation rooms, high-fidelity operating suite, telesimulation capabilities) combined with a course management portal (Lära LMS). The core offerings include medical student simulation programs and continuing professional development courses such as ACLS/SARC certification and renewal programs. The center has been operational since February 2009 and serves over 1,000 trainees monthly.

Broad incumbents

• CAE Healthcare: Commercial global leader in healthcare simulation, manufacturing patient simulators, ultrasound task trainers, and learning management software used by medical schools and simulation centres worldwide. Comparable because it supplies and operates the technology stack CAAHC uses (robotic mannequins, virtual simulators, audiovisual recording), and competes for the same continuing-education budgets at hospital-based simulation programs.
• 3D Systems – Simbionix: Provider of virtual-reality surgical and interventional simulation trainers (formerly Simbionix), used in medical schools and simulation centres for procedure-specific skills training. Comparable as a commercial alternative for the virtual-simulator and procedural-skills segments of CAAHC's high-fidelity plateau.
• Surgical Science: Developer of virtual-reality simulation platforms for minimally invasive surgery, endovascular procedures, and nursing — used by medical schools and hospitals globally. Comparable through its portfolio of validated simulation curricula and virtual-simulator technology that complements (and competes with) the in-person mannequin-based training CAAHC delivers.
• Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada: Canadian standard-setter for ACLS/SARC, BCLS, and PALS resuscitation curricula, and operator of an instructor network across Canada. Directly comparable as the credentialing body whose curriculum CAAHC's ACLS/SARC certification and renewal programs deliver against.
• Laerdal Medical: Major manufacturer of high-fidelity patient simulators (SimMan, SimJunior) and provider of simulation-based training programs, including ACLS-aligned curricula. Directly relevant because CAAHC's high-fidelity plateau relies on this category of equipment and Laerdal is a benchmark for simulation program design and ACLS/SARC course delivery.
• American Heart Association (AHA) – ECC Training: Sets the dominant ACLS/BLS/PEARS curriculum and certification standards adopted across North America, and operates a Training Network that delivers AHA-aligned courses. Comparable because CAAHC's ACLS/SARC offerings sit inside the same resuscitation certification category, even though the underlying standard (Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada) differs.

Direct peers

• Université de Toronto – Surgical Skills Centre at Mount Sinai: University-affiliated simulation and surgical-skills training facility serving undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing professional learners. Comparable to CAAHC as another Faculty of Medicine simulation centre delivering high-fidelity and skills-based training to medical students and practising clinicians.
• University of British Columbia – Centre for Excellence in Surgical Education and Research (CESER): UBC Faculty of Medicine centre that integrates simulation, research, and curriculum design for surgical and procedural training. Comparable to CAAHC as a Canadian academic simulation centre combining high-fidelity training, research output, and medical-school curriculum integration.
• McGill University – Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning: McGill's cross-faculty simulation centre offers high-fidelity simulation, standardized patients, and interprofessional training for medical and health-professional learners in Montréal. Directly comparable to CAAHC in mission, customer base (Quebec medical/health-science students), and product category (simulation-based healthcare education).

Emerging players

• Gaumard Scientific: Manufacturer of high-fidelity adult, pediatric, and obstetric patient simulators (HAL, NOELLE, Victoria) used in academic simulation centres. Comparable as a supplier of the robotic-mannequin technology underpinning CAAHC's high-fidelity plateau and competing for the same university simulation budgets.
