Bringing a Structural Competency Framework to the (Simulated) Bedside: The Premature Discharge Objective Structured Clinical Exam.

Structural competency is increasingly valued as a framework to address health equity within undergraduate medical education. As of academic year 2023-2024, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) requires that medical schools have content regarding basic principles of structurally competent health care. Despite encouraging data about the effectiveness of structural competency curricula, most occur within the walls of a classroom and do not enter the authentic or simulated clinical space. From 2022 to 2023, an objective structured clinical exam (OSCE) focused on premature discharge, previously known as discharge against medical advice, was integrated into the required fourth-year Health Policy course at Weill Cornell Medical College, which uses the framework of structural competency. After a simulated clinical encounter, students completed a reflection assignment and participated in group debriefing to reflect on how policy coursework affected their simulated clinical experience. Students completed an evaluation about their OSCE experience, and OSCE checklist performance was analyzed. Of 82 students who participated in the curriculum, 68 completed a curricular evaluation, and 62 consented to have their OSCE performance evaluated for research. Mean overall OSCE checklist performance evaluating students' patient-centered communication skills, harm reduction skills, and discharge planning and counseling was 14.3/16 (89.6%; standard deviation 9.8%). Students reported it was valuable to focus on structural factors affecting care within the simulated clinical encounter by using the structural competency framework. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first OSCE for medical students designed to deepen their understanding of structural competency by embedding the experience into an existing course using the framework. Future work should explore how this curriculum affects students' attitudes toward structurally vulnerable patients. With structural competency as an LCME requirement, the use of OSCEs may give educators a means to teach and assess fundamental concepts.

The association of recent simulation training and clinical experience of team leaders with cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality during in-hospital cardiac arrest

ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate the association of recent team leader simulation training (<6 months) and years of clinical experience (≥4 years) with chest compression quality during in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). MethodsThis cohort study of IHCA in four Danish hospitals included cases with data on chest compression quality and team leader characteristics. We assessed the impact of recent simulation training and experienced team leaders on longest chest compression pause duration (primary outcome), chest compression fraction (CCF), and chest compression rates within guideline recommendations using mixed effects models. ResultsOf 157 included resuscitation attempts, 45% had a team leader who recently participated in simulation training and 66% had an experienced team leader. The median team leader experience was 7 years [Q1; Q3: 4; 11]. The median duration of the longest chest compression pause was 16 s [10; 30]. Having a team leader with recent simulation training was associated with significantly shorter longest pause durations (difference: −7.11 s (95%-CI: −12.0; −2.2), p = 0.004), a higher CCF (difference: 3% (95%-CI: 2.0; 4.0%), p < 0.001) and with less guideline compliant chest compression rates (odds ratio: 0.4 (95%-CI: 0.19; 0.84), p = 0.02). Having an experienced team leader was not associated with longest pause duration (difference: −1.57 s (95%-CI: −5.34; 2.21), p = 0.42), CCF (difference: 0.7% (95%-CI: −0.3; 1.7), p = 0.17) or chest compression rates within guideline recommendations (odds ratio: 1.55 (95%-CI: 0.91; 2.66), p = 0.11). ConclusionRecent simulation training of team leaders, but not years of team leader experience, was associated with shorter chest compression pauses during IHCA.

Evaluation of a virtual interprofessional oral-systemic health simulation experience in nursing, dentistry, medicine, and pharmacy education.

The annual teaching oral-systemic health (TOSH) virtual clinical simulation and case study activity exposes interprofessional teams of nurse practitioner, nurse midwifery, dental, medical, and pharmacy students to a virtual clinical simulation experience that uses oral-systemic health as a clinical exemplar for promoting interprofessional core competencies. The present study examines changes in participating students' self-reported interprofessional competencies following participation in virtual TOSH from 2020 to 2022. These findings are also compared to those from in-person TOSH (2019) to examine the equivalence of student outcomes of both the in-person and virtual programs. A pre- and post-test evaluation design was used to examine the effectiveness of exposure to the TOSH program on self-reported attainment of interprofessional competencies for participating students using the interprofessional collaborative competency attainment scale. Analysis of pre- and post-surveys demonstrated statistically significant improvement in students' self-rated interprofessional experience competencies following the virtual TOSH program, which aligns with results from the in-person cohorts. Similar findings between the in-person and virtual cohorts indicated no statistically significant difference between the two formats. These findings demonstrate the success of TOSH in promoting attainment of interprofessional competencies among future health professionals. We encourage administrators and faculty who lead health professional programs to take advantage of using virtual simulations as an integral component of interprofessional oral health clinical experiences where students from different health professions learn from and about each other in assessing and treating patients across the lifespan.

Improvements in practising nurses’ knowledge, skills, self-efficacy, confidence, and satisfaction after a simulated clinical experience of caring for a patient undergoing chemotherapy: a quasi-experimental study

BackgroundThe beneficial effect of simulation experience on nursing students is well established in the literature. However, an accurate simulation modality to help professional nurses enhance their clinical competence and expertise remains unexplored. The current study evaluated and contrasted the impact of two simulation modalities on nurses’ knowledge, abilities, self-efficacy, confidence, and satisfaction following a simulated clinical experience caring for chemotherapy patients.MethodsA quasi-experimental research design was employed in this study. The participants were divided into group A, comprising nurses exposed to the high-fidelity simulation, and group B, comprising nurses exposed to the virtual simulation.ResultsThe study found that nurses exposed to high-fidelity simulation and virtual simulation gained a high standard of knowledge and skills. The nurses’ post-test and post-objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) scores drastically increased after simulation exposure compared to their pre-test and pre-OSCE scores. For the group exposed to high-fidelity simulation, the mean differences were − 19.65 (pre- and post-test) and 23.85 (pre- and post-OSCE), while for the group exposed to virtual simulation, the mean differences were − 22.42 (pre- and post-test) and 20.63 (pre- and post-OSCE). All p-values indicated significant differences < 0.001. Moreover, both groups exhibited high self-efficacy, confidence, and satisfaction levels after the simulation experience. The outcomes of both simulation modalities regarding self-efficacy, confidence, and satisfaction levels indicate no significant difference, as supported by p-values of > 0.05.ConclusionHigh-fidelity simulation and virtual simulation training effectively and efficiently advance nurses’ professional competence. The nurses exposed to high-fidelity simulation and virtual simulation gained high levels of knowledge and skills. Additionally, it increased their sense of happiness, self-worth, and self-efficacy. The simulation approach will be a potent instrument for improving nurses’ competency and fully developing their sense of expertise. Therefore, developing policies adopting simulation as part of their professional development will ensure patient safety and improve health outcomes.

Effectiveness of Screen-Based Simulation as a Strategy to Improve Nurse Practitioner Students' Access to Electronic Health Records in Clinical Education.

Learning to use electronic health records is essential for family nurse practitioner students to inform practice and clinical decision-making. Limited access to electronic health records during clinical training can lead to suboptimal use. Academic programs often rely on healthcare organizations to provide opportunities for students to learn electronic health record skills. However, clinical experiences are highly individualized, and students may not have access to electronic health records. Alternatives are needed to develop this critical competency. This study compared self-reported ratings regarding comfort and access to electronic health record documentation between students who participated in screen-based simulation and students who completed traditional clinical experiences with a preceptor during the last 70 hours of clinical training in one family nurse practitioner program. There was a significant difference in electronic health record access between students who participated in simulated versus traditional clinical experiences (P = .002). There were no significant differences in ratings of comfort using electronic health records between groups. Both groups reported limited access to electronic health records in the first 500 hours of clinical experience. However, students who participated in screen-based simulation reported a quarter-fold increase in electronic health record access during their last 70 hours of clinical training.

Perceived Effectiveness of Nursing Faculty of Clinical Video Simulation for Use in Nurse Practitioner Education

Quality clinical placements for nurse practitioner students are increasingly challenging to locate and sustain, restricting faculty opportunities to assess student clinical competency. With the additional impact of COVID-19 restricting access to in-person clinicals and simulations, faculty began to incorporate virtual clinical simulation experiences. This cross-sectional design study examined nurse practitioner faculty’s perception that by including videos with the accompanying faculty guides found at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro School of Nursing Clinical Video Simulation Series site, students’ clinical decision making could be enhanced and that video simulation can be used to assess clinical competency.

Use of the Debriefing Assessment in Healthcare Simulation (DASH)© in Speech-Language Pathology Clinical Simulation Learning Experiences

Research indicates facilitated debriefing is more effective than non-facilitated debriefing. However, limited published work on this topic exists within communication sciences and disorders. This study investigates speech-language pathology clinical simulation experiences examining formative assessment of debriefing sessions. Two groups of graduate students were compared to assess students’ perceptions of simulated learning experiences over 6 consecutive weeks. Although no significant changes were noted, stability between-group ratings indicate students entered this experience with practical clinical skills. Future studies may consider students’ ability to apply previous knowledge compared to those with no previous clinical experience.

Development and Implementation of Video-Recorded Simulation Scenarios to Facilitate Case-Based Learning Discussions for Medical Students' Virtual Anesthesiology Clerkship.

The COVID-19 pandemic presented unique challenges to medical student education. Medical student activities involving direct patient contact were limited, challenging anesthesiology programs to develop innovative means of presenting a clinical experience to trainees. In response, the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Minnesota Medical School quickly transitioned its introductory anesthesiology clerkship to be entirely virtual. We designed the resulting curriculum to provide medical students with the most experiential learning experience possible. We created and conducted a virtual curriculum for medical students that incorporated video-recorded simulation-based scenarios to facilitate case-based learning discussions (CBLDs). At the end of their 2-week rotation, students completed a postclerkship survey with Likert-scale questions and an open-ended question intended to elicit feedback and evaluate the efficacy of the virtual curriculum. Twenty-eight medical students finished the 2-week virtual anesthesiology clerkship over eight blocks, with all 28 students completing the postclerkship survey. Survey responses demonstrated that the virtual clerkship met or exceeded expectations in all areas. A majority of students (74%, 14 of the 19 who answered the associated question) felt that the faculty-led CBLD exercises were informative. All 28 students agreed or strongly agreed that the virtual assignments were valuable and facilitated learning. We successfully implemented a virtual anesthesiology clerkship curriculum in response to constraints presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. The virtual format provides trainees with a simulated clinical experience that can be utilized not only during future pandemics but also in modern training curricula.

Lasater clinical judgment rubric reliability for scoring clinical judgment after observing asynchronous simulation and feasibility/usability with learners

BackgroundThere is strong evidence supporting using the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric (LCJR) for scoring learners' clinical judgment during in-person simulation performance and clinical experience reflections. However, a gap exists for using LCJR to evaluate clinical judgment after observing asynchronous simulation. ObjectiveWe aimed to determine the reliability, feasibility, and usability of LCJR for scoring learners' written reflections after observing expert-modeled asynchronous simulation videos. Design/setting/participantsWe used a one-group, descriptive design and sampled pre-licensure, junior-level bachelor's learners from the Southwestern United States. MethodsParticipants observed eight expert-modeled asynchronous simulation videos over one semester and provided written responses to clinical judgment prompts. We scored clinical judgment using LCJR. We studied reliability by measuring internal consistency of 11 clinical judgment prompts and interrater reliability with two raters. This study also investigated feasibility and usability of the asynchronous simulation learning activity using descriptive statistics. Feasibility included time learners spent completing written responses and time raters spent evaluating written responses. Learners reported usability perceptions using an instructor-developed survey. ResultsSixty-three learners completed 504 written responses to clinical judgment prompts. Cohen's kappa ranged from 0.34 to 0.86 with a cumulative κ = 0.58. Gwet's AC ranged from 0.48 to 0.90, with a cumulative AC = 0.74. Cronbach's alpha was from 0.51 to 0.72. Learners spent on average 28.32 ± 12.99 min per expert-modeling video observation. Raters spent on average 4.85 ± 1.34 min evaluating written responses for each participant. Learners reported the asynchronous learning activity was usable. ConclusionsNurse educators can reliably use LCJR for scoring learners' clinical judgment after observing asynchronous expert-modeled simulation. Logistically, learners complete the reflective learning activity and faculty use LCJR to measure clinical judgment in feasible time. Further, participants perceived the asynchronous learning activity usable. Nurse educators should utilize this learning activity for evaluating and tracking observer clinical judgment development.

The Perception of Preparedness in Undergraduate Nursing Students During COVID-19.

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to explore the perception of preparedness in nursing students who transitioned to online and virtual learning platforms brought about by Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).DesignDescriptive, correlational, nonexperimental research design.MethodData collection was attained through Facebook groups using the Casey-Fink Readiness for Practice Survey and questions about comfort in nursing skills and multiple patient assignments. The sample size of 103 included nursing students and those with less than two years of experience.ResultsAs school support during the transition increased, comfort in performing nursing skills improved. As the number of patients within a nurse's assignment increased, comfort decreased. Participants expressed a desire for more hands-on in person education and postgraduate support. With the reduction in clinical hours during COVID-19, Learning Techniques and Trials and Tribulations revealed diminished readiness. Low scores within the Trials and Tribulations subgroup impacted feelings of comfort when performing nursing skills independently.ConclusionCOVID-19 dramatically changed how undergraduate nurses were educated. The transition from live didactic instruction and in person clinical experience to online learning and simulated clinical experience impacted nursing students' readiness for practice. As this topic is still evolving, additional research will be needed to fully understand the impact on healthcare.

A Focused Checklist for Constructing Equitable, Diverse, and Inclusive Simulation Experiences

BackgroundFor the past six years, the School of Nursing has engaged in a concerted effort to transform our culture into one that deeply embraces inclusion and equity, not only in building awareness and stating intentions, but in strategic actions that lead to sustainable change. MethodThe School's Inclusion, Diversity, and Excellence Achievement Initiative (IDEA) provides a framework to foster sustainable change in the composition, content and context of our learning environment. To approach equity on a systemic level, faculty and staff leaders participated in the University of Southern California's Equity Institute, an 8-week intensive learning series on advancing racial equity. The training provided authors the groundwork to critically assess the learning experiences offered by their Clinical Simulation Learning Center with a goal to continue to build more diverse, inclusive and equity-minded experiences for students, with special attention to eliminating stereotypes and bias. ResultsA team of 6 faculty collaborated to develop a checklist to critically analyze existing simulation learning experiences, and guide new development of equitable and inclusive clinical simulation learning experiences. An equity and inclusivity checklist was developed. ConclusionsDespite limited literature supporting DEI in nursing student simulation education, there are tools from other interprofessional fields centered on diversity and equity, which may be adapted to meet needs of students. Effectively enhancing DEI within nursing education requires a comprehensive review of all aspects of administrative and educational elements including clinical simulation experiences. Hardwiring equitable and inclusive processes into clinical simulations can be fostered through structured checklists.

Replacement of Traditional Nursing Clinical With a Virtual Simulated Clinical Experience During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Background: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Indiana University (IU) South Bend nursing faculty created a virtual clinical day that included synchronous and asynchronous experiences to replace 50% of traditional clinical hours in a 1:1 exchange to realistically imitate an in-person clinical day. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate existing outcome data to support the replacement of a traditional clinical experience with a virtual clinical experience as a valid pedagogical strategy to meet clinical student learning outcomes. Methods: Descriptive statistics were used to measure mean values of evaluation data for students who participated in the virtual simulated clinical experience (VSCE). Additionally, aggregate final course grades were compared between the group of students who participated in the VSCE and those who did not. Results: When compared with a traditional clinical day, all respondents believed that the VSCE was equal to or better than the traditional clinical setting for promoting critical thinking and meeting course outcomes. Evaluation of final course grades in the corequisite didactic course demonstrated equal or better performance than students in the traditional clinical setting only. Conclusion: Even though this experiment resulted in a successful outcome, it is essential to continue with rigorous research to demonstrate the effectiveness of a virtual clinical experience as a substitute for face-to-face clinical or simulation hours.

Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Training: A Review of Literature and Implication for Nursing Education and Service to Rural Communities.

Sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) play a critical role in providing quality care to patients who have experienced sexual violence. Recent national legislative initiatives have been launched both to better explore state-specific needs in regard to training SANE nurses as well as pilot programs that will establish evidence-based methods of expanding SANE training to remote, rural, and underserved communities.A scoping literature review was conducted to identify best practices in SANE training as well as implications for delivering this education to rural and underserved communities. This review analyzed the scientific strengths and weaknesses of existing research, provided an overview of findings within the literature, and identified areas where further research could be directed to inform local, state, and national strategy on SANE education.Blended learning programs that pair online education with simulated clinical experiences are promising alternatives to the traditional classroom experience; however, more research is needed to know how to enhance retention and engagement of nurses utilizing these methods to obtain preliminary SANE training.

Ponseti Clubfoot Casting: Factors That Affect Trainee Competency (Retrospective Observational Study).

Introduction:This study investigates how previous simulation training and clinical experience affects trainee performance when manipulating a foot, applying a Ponseti clubfoot cast, and performing an Achilles tenotomy on a clubfoot simulator.Methods:Sixty-four Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education orthopaedic trainees participated in the 2017 to 2018 Top Gun (TG) skills competition at the International Pediatric Orthopaedic Symposium. Trainees were judged by expert pediatric orthopaedic surgeons on how they manipulated a clubfoot model, applied a cast, and performed a simulated tendoachilles tenotomy (TAT). An analysis was done to correlate the test variables with a contestant's TG Ponseti score.Results:Twenty-one contestants with previous residency training using synthetic clubfoot models scored higher (P = 0.007) than those trainees without training. Trainees who had applied >10 clubfoot casts and who participated in >10 TATs in training also scored higher (P = 0.038 and P = 0.01, respectively). Thirteen contestants who had previously attended an International Pediatric Orthopaedic Symposium meeting and seven contestants who attended a American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery clubfoot workshop scored higher (P = 0.012 and P = 0.017 respectively).Discussion:Clinical and previous simulation experience related to the Ponseti method correlated with improved performance on our Ponseti simulation. Trainees who had previous experience with >10 clubfoot casts and >10 TATs scored higher during TG than less experienced trainees.

RETRACTED: International nursing students’ perceptions and experiences of transition to the nursing workforce – A cross-sectional survey

To investigate international nursing students' perceptions about their preparedness and experiences of transition from the educational settings to the host country's nursing workforce. Transition from a student to a registered nurse is a challenging phase for undergraduate nursing students. Undergraduate nursing students have reported concerns about their clinical preparedness and felt inadequately prepared as new graduates. One under-researched area is international nursing students' preparedness and experiences of transition from their undergraduate nursing program to the host country's nursing workforce. A descriptive cross-sectional study. Online survey active from 26 October 2020-31 January 2021 in Australia. 110 eligible international nursing students (Mean age =25.10±3.32; 57.8% female) in the final year of their undergraduate nursing program Australian universities took part in the survey in 2020. The survey used the Casey-Fink Readiness for Practice Survey as well as newly added questions to measure transition preparedness, clinical preparedness, facilitators and barriers that may affect transition and the impact of Coronavirus disease of 2019 on transition. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Over 90% of the respondents planned to transition to the Australian nursing workforce, with over 50% feeling prepared to transition as registered nurses. However, over 50% of the respondents did not feel ready to find nursing employment in Australia. When assessing clinical preparedness, participants reported their discomfort and lack of confidence in dealing with dying patients, delegating tasks to nursing assistants and communicating and interacting with physicians and interdisciplinary team members in the clinical area. They also reported clinical simulation activities helpful in clinical preparation, being comfortable in taking actions to solve problems and being confident in identifying actual or potential safety risks for patients. The major barriers for transition included temporary visa status, financial challenges, duration of clinical placements during the nursing program, inability to comprehend local colloquialism and knowledge of the Australian healthcare system. The main facilitators were clinical simulation experiences, the ability to speak languages other than English and interactions with people from diverse cultures. International nursing students had unique challenges related to their temporary visa status, knowledge of the Australian healthcare system and comprehension of colloquialism. Clinical simulation experiences, the ability to interact with diverse cultures and speak different languages contributed positively to their transition preparedness. They expressed their desire to have extended clinical placements in more acute care settings to improve their clinical experiences.

O IMPACTO DA SIMULAÇÃO CLÍNICA DE ALTA FIDELIDADE NO ENSINO DE ENFERMAGEM PEDIÁTRICA: ESTUDO EXPERIMENTAL

ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the impact of high-fidelity clinical simulation on undergraduate teaching, specifically in the Pediatric Nursing area. Method: a quasi-experimental study of the pre- and post-test type, developed at three public Higher Educations Institutions (HEIs) in Brazil. The participants were 93 undergraduate Nursing students, enrolled in the Pediatric Nursing academic disciplines, and randomly allocated to the control or experimental groups. The data were collected in the first half of 2017, through a structured knowledge test and the Satisfaction with Simulated Clinical Experiences Scale. The experimental group received the usual intervention (participation in the theoretical and theoretical-practical activities offered in the disciplines) and the study intervention (high-fidelity clinical simulation); the control group only received the usual intervention. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive and analytical statistics. An explanatory model was prepared by means of multiple linear regression to assess the impact of simulation on teaching. Results: the mean difference between the knowledge pre- and post-tests was 4.04 points (p=0.0004) higher among the experimental group participants, indicating a greater increase in knowledge with the simulation. The participants from University A, who performed the simulation after the theoretical activities and before the theoretical-practical activities, obtained a higher mean difference between the knowledge pre- and post-tests (by 3.89 points, p=0.0075) than that of obtained by the participants from the other institutions. In relation to the satisfaction scale, high scores were achieved (mean=9.11±0.67). Conclusion: high-fidelity clinical simulation in Pediatrics contributed to increasing the Nursing students’ knowledge and satisfaction levels.

64 360 Simulation: Assessing Baby Robin

Within a rural county, student placement locations are geographically scattered. Student feedback revealed that only students in one placement were able to benefit from the high-fidelity simulation suite resources situated at the lead hospital. Research shows students value co-created and personalized resources. Working with our practice partners we identified a cost-effective, accessible and inclusive solution, using 360 videos. Clinical simulation has been found to be effective To use 360 videos accessed via low-cost VR headsets to scale the clinical simulation experience for paediatric nursing students.Working with our local hospital and our second-year paediatric nursing students, we used agile design methods and co-creation to develop two ABCDE assessment clinical simulations (sepsis and acute respiratory illness), using a 360 camera. These videos were accessed using low-cost virtual reality headsets, Oculus Quest™, mobile devices and Microsoft HoloLens™. Qualitative evaluation sought views of students, nursing staff/academics and simulation technicians through focus groups (n = 10). Thematic analysis revealed emergent themes of flexibility of access, repetition of learning opportunity and strengthening or the practice-theory link. Challenges included user familiarity with the technology and time investment. The main impact of this project was wider and longer-lasting learning compared with traditional methods.Bite size learning chunks embedded strategically into our new nursing curriculum, for 300 student nurses studying at level 5. Harnessing the full potential of the clinical simulated experience permits students and staff to learn at a time and place of their own choosing. The ABCDE assessment will be expertly demonstrated through 360 videos, which will better prepare students for in-person simulations, saving face-to-face time explaining how to carry out the simulation. Learning from this project will feedforward to a faculty-wide multi-disciplinary clinical simulation event, informing guidelines.

Satisfaction Levels of Remote Healthcare Simulation amongst EMS Professionals in Pune, India

Aim: Healthcare education comprises of various components including theory, practicals, clinical and cognitive skills. The teaching andragogy has evolved from classroom sessions and laboratory experiments to clinical rotation duties. Simulation has played a significant role as a new revolutionary tool in andragogy as it involves self-reflective and immersive learning. The COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing rules necessitated the suspension of all in-person learning activities at workplaces, public places and all educational institutes. Consequently, distance learning became essential. As a result, the classroom sessions were replaced by online mode sessions and the teaching faculties had no option but to adapt to the new technology in a short period of time. It is crucial to gauge the satisfaction levels amongst Emergency Medical Professionals (EMP’s) attending remote simulation sessions to devise more user friendly programs for the future. The aim of the study is to assess the satisfaction level of the Emergency Medical Professionals exposed to remote simulation&#x0D; Study Design: Quantitative Study.&#x0D; Place and Duration of Study: Symbiosis Centre for Health Skills, Pune in October 2021.&#x0D; Materials and Methods: A quantitative study on satisfaction level was conducted in October 2021, amongst 200 Emergency Medical Professionals (EMP’s) in the city of Pune, India. Simulated Clinical Experiences (SCE’s) on various cardiac emergencies were designed by Simulation Educators. The participants attended the session via virtual platform Microsoft Teams for a period of 2 hours. A 19-item student satisfaction survey, was used to determine the participant’s satisfaction with the remote simulation session.&#x0D; Results and Discussion: The study was conducted with the aim to adjudge the level of satisfaction amongst EMS professionals with the remote simulation mode of teaching. In the post Covid era, remote learning has become a norm and cannot be ignored. The session successfully recreated a real patient care setting and the participants enjoyed the immersive learning experience. Although limited number of participants could actively engage in the patient care during the session, the debriefing ensured that all participants were involved in the session.&#x0D; Conclusion: The unanimity in the satisfaction scores is very encouraging for facilitators to devise interesting SCE’s and teach in the remote simulation mode. This shall ensure that the continued medical education does not suffer as a result of the pandemic.
