Was COVID-19 a heyday for education? Lessons learned from a COVID-19 "pop-up" simulation developed overnight.

Introduction: To adjust for the COVID-19 pandemic's rapidly changing guidelines and clinical needs, educators turned to simulation to create realistic yet safe environments for drilling and innovating various care strategies. Individually, institutions faced creating a pathway for deploying new behaviors and techniques widely across their populace.

Methods: In response to this need, we rapidly developed an interprofessional teaching curriculum for safe intubation techniques and donning/doffing of personal protection equipment to anesthesiology clinicians and technicians.
