Background: Collaboration between academic institutions and clinical practice plays an important role in supporting students' learning in clinical practice. A virtual telesimulation was incorporated to provide academic-practice collaboration between academic educators and nurse preceptors to support students' clinical education.
Purpose: The purpose was to evaluate the experiences of nursing students and academic educators on the perceived impact of virtual telesimulation in clinical education.
Methods: A descriptive qualitative study using focus group discussions was conducted.
Results: Four themes emerged: "coming together to know one another" for rapport building, "learning from different perspectives" to foster clinical learning and practice, "application of learning strategy" to stimulate case-based discussion, and "reaching out to more preceptors" to optimize its impact in clinical practice.
Conclusions: Academic-practice collaboration using virtual telesimulation enabled students and academic educators to build rapport with clinical preceptors and learn from other practices, which in turn enhanced students' clinical learning experiences.

The traditional apprenticeship model of "see one, do one, teach one" is no longer considered the most effective approach for training surgical trainees. Key factors such as patient safety, increasing trainee numbers, and clinician workload pose significant challenges to surgical training. These pressures have led to the adoption of simulation-based education as an effective adjunct to clinical experience when training future surgeons.

Introduction: Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) accelerated the need for virtual learning including telesimulation. Many emergency medicine (EM) programs halted in-person simulation and trialed telesimulation, but specifics on its utilization and plans for future use are unknown. Telesimulation has been defined as "a process by which telecommunication and simulation resources are utilized to provide education, training, and/or assessment to learners at an off-site location.

Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a marked shift toward telesimulation in medical education. Limited studies exist comparing the effectiveness of online and offline simulation education. The goals of this study are to evaluate active learners' perceived effectiveness of telesimulation versus in situ simulation and to identify potential shortcomings of existing online teaching platforms.

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the closure of traditional simulation centers, prompting innovative solutions for medical education. Drawing from prior studies, which advocated for telesimulation and virtual reality (VR) as alternatives, this article explores the development and implementation of VR simulation in medical training. Leveraging the Acadicus VR platform, a VR simulation solution was created, enabling interactive scenarios simulating pediatric critical care situations.

Clinical simulation in Intensive Care Medicine is a crucial tool to strengthen patient safety. It focuses on the complexity of the Intensive Care Unit, where challenging clinical situations require rapid decision making and the use of invasive techniques that can increase the risk of errors and compromise safety. Clinical simulation, by mimicking clinical contexts, is presented as essential for developing technical and non-technical skills and enhancing teamwork in a safe environment, without harm to the patient.
