Telesimulation, specifically in health areas, is an educational technique that combines clinical simulation and communication technologies. This definition has been constantly modified, but today more than ever it represents a valuable resource to provide academic continuity. The purpose of this chapter is to present the basic concepts of this strategy while reviewing its antecedents/history in the pre-COVID era, the experience with this technique in health sciences, as well as the processes and resources essential to carry it out with an analysis of the potential limitations that may entail. Likewise, concrete examples of telesimulation in various subjects will be shared, leaving readers the challenge of constant innovation in this field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
