Background: SIMBA is a simulation-based learning platform designed to increase clinicians’ confidence in managing various clinical scenarios. The restriction of face-to-face learning during the COVID-19 pandemic led to switching Simulation via Instant Messaging – Birmingham Advance (SIMBA) to entirely virtual sessions.Objective: To explore SIMBA’s effectiveness to sustain medical education in endocrinology during the pandemic.<p class=...

IntroductionIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic, delivery of medical education has transitioned from predominantly in-person teaching to virtual platforms. Simulation-based learning is a successful teaching modality to develop clinicians’ knowledge and skill, while safeguarding patients. Simulation has traditionally been performed via face-to-face role play, however many of its principles can be adapted for remote use. We explored the effectiveness...
