    Implementation of Distance-Based Simulation Training Programs for Healthcare Professionals Breaking Barriers During COVID-19 Pandemic
    (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2021) Vera, Magdalena; Kattan, Eduardo; Cerda, Tomas; Niklitshek, Jessie; Montana, Rodrigo; Varas, Julian; Corvetto, Marcia A.
    A Summary Statement: The sudden rise of critically ill patients secondary to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has triggered a surge in healthcare response. This project's goal was to provide essential cognitive and technical skills to healthcare professionals returning to the workforce or reassigned to critical care clinical duties during the COVID-19 pandemic. The plan included the implementation of 4 distance-based simulation training programs, with asynchronous personalized feedback. The courses allowed the acquisition of skills for the complete critical care patient management chain: use of personal protection equipment, use of a high-flow nasal cannula, endotracheal intubation, and prone positioning. Participants logged into the platform, reviewed material, practiced while recording the session, and uploaded the video through the training platform. The expert tutor remotely delivered asynchronous feedback. Participants trained remotely until achieving course approval. Remote-based simulation seems a feasible and attractive alternative to provide adequate educational solutions, especially for remote and rural areas.

    The "Simulation Roulette" Game
    (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2011) Frederick, Heather J.; Corvetto, Marcia A.; Hobbs, Gene W.; Taekman, Jeffrey
    Introduction: "Simulation Roulette" is a new method of "on-the-fly" simulation scenario creation that incorporates a game-like approach to critical scenarios and emphasizes prescenario preparation. We designed it to complement our traditional anesthesia simulation curriculum, in which residents are exposed to predefined "critical" scenarios. During typical scenarios, trainees are often given minimum preparatory information; they then start the scenario knowing only that "something bad" is going to happen. As a result, trainees often report anxiety, which can be a barrier to learning. To overcome this barrier and to augment traditional critical incident training, we developed the "Simulation Roulette" game.
