Introduction: The delivery of medical education has transformed from in-person to remote teaching, accelerated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Simulation is a useful teaching modality increasingly used to develop healthcare professionals’ knowledge and skills while protecting patients from unnecessary risks. Although simulation has traditionally occurred face-to-face, many of its principles can be adapted for remote teaching. Simulation via Instant Messaging – Birm...

Introduction: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy in women. Studies exploring the experiences of people with PCOS reveal inadequate patient access to information and limited insight into healthcare professionals’ (HCP) attitudes regarding the condition. Simulation via Instant Messaging-Birmingham Advance (SIMBA) is a virtual simulation platform proven to increase learners’ confidence in their approach to simulated cases with a high acce...

Introduction: Educational interventions for healthcare professionals (HCPs) in diabetes and endocrinology often limits patient and public involvement (PPI). We studied the effectiveness of Simulation via Instant Messaging-Birmingham Advance (SIMBA) as a tool to improve knowledge about polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in HCP and women with PCOS. Additionally, we aimed to identify and reduce gaps in knowledge and expectations between HCP and women living with PCOS.<p class="...
