Building Global Partnerships: A Qualitative Exploration of In-Person Training for HealthCare Simulation Educators Working in Low-Resource Settings.

Introduction: Effective educational initiatives can elevate the quality of patient care globally. Simulation-based education is widely used in high-resource settings, but barriers exist to its widespread use in low-resource settings. Vital Anesthesia Simulation Training (VAST) overcomes these barriers by offering immersive, low-cost portable simulation along with simulation facilitator training.

Resuscitation team training in Rwanda: A mixed method study exploring the combination of the VAST course with Advanced Cardiac Life Support training.

Introduction: The influence of non-technical skills training on resuscitation performance in low-resource settings is unknown. This study investigates combining the Vital Anaesthesia Simulation Training Course with Advanced Cardiac Life Support training on resuscitation performance in Rwanda.

Methods: Participants in this mixed method study are members of resuscitation teams in three district hospitals in Rwanda.
