Background: There is a differential clinical learning opportunity for healthcare professionals in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) compared to high-income countries (HICs). Barriers to learning include cost, time and accessibility. Simulation via Instant Messaging - Birmingham Advance (SIMBA) is a free virtual simulation-based model aimed at improving clinicians’ professional development, without compromising patient safety. The study compared the impact of SIMBA ...
