The Clinical Education Centre is an innovative program providing inter-professional training and development for medical students and working professionals.

The main focus of the centre is a series of exam rooms located in a central drum where students work with standardized patients using peer observation and video-taped recording for feedback and teaching purposes.

Surrounding the central drum are a series of support facilities including an interactive classroom and broadcast site for use in a distance education program, as well as seminar rooms, skills labs, and a resource library.

The space between the two main programmatic elements is a generous social place promoting spontaneous exchanges between all users of the centre.
