Dr. Patricia (Tricia) Prince is the Assistant Chair of Experiential Learning with over 26 years of experience in undergraduate instruction. She specializes in facilitating student growth within adult acute care, simulation, and clinical environments, and is a Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE) who utilizes advanced simulation to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Internationally and nationally engaged in advancing the field, Dr. Prince is an active member of both the International Consortium of Clinical Education (ICONED) and the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) Clinical Nursing Education Interest Group.

Since joining Mount Royal University in 2000, Dr. Prince has leveraged her decades of specialized bedside experience in Cardiovascular Surgery, Cardiac Intensive Care, and the Cardiac Function Clinic to scaffold student learning.
