While simulation educators have been consulted and called upon to quickly transition in-person interprofessional education to the online environment, the burden on simulation educators and support staff is often overlooked. The charge to create distance healthcare simulation also creates faculty development needs, including: acceptance of abrupt change and the ability to adapt to online environments and technology. With new resources appearing in peer-reviewed literature, listservs, and social media every hour, there is an additional need for thoughtful curation of activities and materials. It is unknown what, how, who, why and if distance simulation have been implemented. To help with further development that will come, we need to know the state of the game.
As part of a larger group exploring issues around distance simulation, a large-scale scoping review, consensus summit, global survey, and delphi process was developed to collect data from simulation programs worldwide to understand what types of online/remote simulations and methods are being used. A consortium of international medical and health profession societies have formed together to aid in disseminating this large-scale research agenda, including presidents of simulation societies, editors-in-chief of journals, physician and nurse simulation leaders, and researchers across the globe.
In this session, the genesis, design, and results of our recent publications and ongoing work will be presented, along with implications of the results for future research and practice.
In support of improving patient care, this activity is planned and implemented by The National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education Office of Interprofessional Continuing Professional Development (OICPD). The OICPD is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
As a Jointly Accredited Provider, the OICPD is approved to offer social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. Organizations, not individual courses, are approved under this program. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit. The OICPD maintains responsibility for this course. Social workers completing this course receive continuing education credits.
This activity was planned by and for the healthcare team, and learners will receive Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) credit for learning and change.
