Learners' Perceptions During Simulation-Based Training: An Interview Study Comparing Remote Versus Locally Facilitated Simulation-Based Training.

Introduction: Remotely facilitated simulation-based training (RF-SBT) is less positively appraised than face-to-face, locally facilitated simulation-based training (LF-SBT), despite being considered as an acceptable alternative. This study compared the perceptions of learners after RF-SBT and LF-SBT to explain differences between the two and identify relevant theories that would guide future practice.

Methods: Telephone interviews were conducted with 21 newly graduated doctors and nurses who completed a standardized simulation course delivered in both RF-SBT and LF-SBT formats.

Remotely Versus Locally Facilitated Simulation-based Training in Management of the Deteriorating Patient by Newly Graduated Health Professionals: A Controlled Trial.

Introduction: This study evaluated delivery of immersive simulation-based training (SBT) by distance education. Newly graduated health professionals' experience of and learning outcomes from videoconference-enabled remotely facilitated (RF) were prospectively compared with a locally facilitated (LF) format within a course addressing management of the deteriorating patient.

Methods: Participants were exposed to both RF and LF formats in an intervention course (IC).
