VSP students will have field trips to the Vancouver General Hospital campus and engage in hands-on activities using cutting-edge techniques to study and treat injuries. From impact simulations on life-size injury models to state-of-the-art surgical tools\, you will see innovation in injury biomechanics. Practical activities will be supplemented by lectures from leading researchers and clinicians\, which will provide the technical depth to understand and interpret your results. \nMedical Innovation using Collaborative Design \nBuilding on knowledge gained in Course 1\, we challenge teams of VSP students to think like surgeons and design new ways to repair fractured bones.  You will learn about the benefits of biomedical engineering design process to improve health outcomes in patients. You will have the opportunity to brainstorm and test innovative solutions. The course finishes off with a demonstration of your team’s design in a celebration of the collaborative environment that makes these innovations possible. \nFind out more at https://agingsmart.ca/ubc-vancouver-summer-program/ URL:https://agingsmart.ca/event/ubc-vancouver-summer-program-package-q/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230626T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230626T180000 DTSTAMP:20260418T231904 CREATED:20230417T222202Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230417T222202Z UID:1582-1687791600-1687802400@agingsmart.ca SUMMARY:Centre for Aging SMART Falls Prevention Workshop: The Latest in Evidence and in Practice Day 2 DESCRIPTION:This 2-part workshop aims to share the latest evidence and clinical guidelines in falls prevention\, including risk assessment\, interventions\, and evidence-based strategies to promote adherence to recommendations.
