ROOM USAGE DESCRIPTIONS. The 400-‐seat Lecture Theatre can be used for a variety of purposes such as lectures, screenings and performances. The space is videoconference (VC) enabled, for connecting with other VC enabled rooms or through desktop videoconferencing platform. In VC and in non-‐VC use, built-‐in AV equipment, VC system, displays and sound system are utilized.
ROOM USAGE DESCRIPTIONS. Clinical Skills Rooms (CSRs) and Enhanced Clinical Skills rooms (ECSRs) are used in different ways throughout the medical program. Typically the rooms are used by 2-9 students, plus 1 instructor/clinician and 1 volunteer or standardized patient and sometimes 1 family member. These rooms are used by students and residents to practice performing clinical procedures within a safe learning environment. Procedures are conducted on volunteer or standardized patients (actors), or for more sensitive procedures, on task trainers or advanced clinical skills devices. They are also used to conduct exams, such as the objective structured clinical exam (OSCEs) for years 1 - 4. CSRs are regularly used by students in years 1 & 2 for “Clinical Skills” and, at some distributed sites for “Doctor, Patient and Society” courses. The CSRs will be designed as activity-observation pairs: One CSR will function as control-observation room and the adjacent CSR as the activity room. The ECSR will be designed with one activity room and an adjacent dedicated control-observation room. The Observation CSR/room will be used as an observation to the activity room by a group of students and or an instructor to watch and listen to a colleague during a presentation, and make notes for learning opportunities whilst the procedure is taking place. The use of control-observation room allows the student performing the procedure to do so without the distraction of their colleagues looking on in the room, and also provides a level of comfort for the patient. Learning opportunities are very similar to recording. For the purpose of the Terrace Redevelopment project, the Inpatient Private Room will be design as a Clinical Skills room (CSR) and the Trauma/OR Simulation Room will be designed as Enhance Clinical Skills room. Each one of them will have an adjacent dedicated Control room. The CSR will be designed with the control-observation capabilities as detailed in this document. Technology is used to support the delivery of clinical skills education by enhancing access to materials that students can use to prepare, review, and debrief. However the primary objective and focus is always on the student’s interaction with the patient, building communication skills, rapport, learning new skills and refining approach to clinical encounters, preparing students for medical practice.
ROOM USAGE DESCRIPTIONS. FINAL DRAFT The Authority provides a variety of different Learning Room types. Each room type has different standard setup and equipment requirements as enumerated in diagram below.
1. Small Classroom Type (20 -‐25 seats). This is typical of medium instructional classroom. The desks and chairs are not fixed and are reconfigurable, but typically are layout in this configuration. FINAL DRAFT
2. Medium Classroom Type (30 seats) .This is typical of large instructional classroom. The desks and chairs are not fixed and are reconfigurable, but typically are layout in this configuration.
3. Learning Space Type (18 -‐20 seats) These spaces are identified in Schedule 2 [Equipment and Furniture]. These type of space is typical a studio space with an instructional area. Other spaces may include Study Rooms, Critique Rooms, or Large Meeting Rooms (20-‐seats). The desks and chairs are not fixed and are reconfigurable, but typically are layout in this configuration.
4. Computer Lab Type (20 seats) FINAL DRAFT This is typical of a fixed computer education room. These are used primarily for computer related curriculum instruction and open lab work room.
5. Meeting Room Type (2-‐10 seats) This is typical of a small room where the rooms are used predominantly as a meeting rooms for curriculum and administration meetings.
