Telesimulation Use in Emergency Medicine Residency Programs: National Survey of Residency Simulation Leaders.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) accelerated the need for virtual learning including telesimulation. Many emergency medicine (EM) programs halted in-person simulation and trialed telesimulation, but specifics on its utilization and plans for future use are unknown. Telesimulation has been defined as "a process by which telecommunication and simulation resources are utilized to provide education, training, and/or assessment to learners at an off-site location." Our objective in this study was to describe the patterns of telesimulation usage in EM residency programs during COVID-19-induced learning restrictions as well as its anticipated future utility.

Methods

We identified EM simulation leaders via the EMRA Match website, institutional websites, or personal contact w
