I am pleased to announce that Leanne Baird has accepted the role of Simulation Program Manager.

Leanne brings more than 15 years of experience in education, healthcare, and simulation. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Bachelor of Education from Lakehead University.

Since joining TBRHSC, Leanne has been instrumental in advancing simulation-based education, coordinating training programs, managing simulation technologies, and contributing to quality improvement initiatives.

In her role as Simulation Technologist, she collaborated closely with multidisciplinary teams on a range of projects, including supporting the simulation component for the Regional Pediatric Transport Team training. Throughout her work, Leanne has demonstrated a strong commitment to collaboration, education, and patient safety. In her new role, Leanne will work alongside the Medical Leads for Simulation (Dr. Rosie North, Dr. Sonja Lubbers, and Dr. Aaron Ruberto) to lead the continued growth of our Simulation Program. She will focus on collaborating with teams across all departments to expand simulation’s role in education, quality improvement, and clinical excellence across the organization.

Please join me in congratulating Leanne and welcoming her to her new leadership position.
