One of the main components of the Critical Care Nursing E-Learning Graduate Certificate program is the Critical Care simulations. This course is offered in a high-tech lab with high-fidelity simulators from which you can take blood pressures, listen to heart sounds, breath sounds, etc. Thirty-nine hours in length, the lab is held over two weekends.

Arrow Canada generously donates an intra aortic balloon pump to Durham College's Critical Care Simulations course.
