Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is posing new challenges for medical education and simulation practice given local social distancing requirements. This report describes the use of an online platform for rapid cycle deliberate practice simulation training that can be used and tailored to local COVID-19 pandemic restrictions as it allows for participants, facilitators and simulation equipment to be apart.

Keywords: computer simulation; e-learning; emergency paediatrics; screen based (virtual patient); simulation.
