Introduction:The abrupt disruption of in-person instruction in health care during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the rapid adoption of distance simulation as an immediate alternative to providing in-person simulation-based education. This massive instructional shift, combined with the lack of educator training in this domain, led to challenges for both learners and educators. This study aimed to disseminate the first set of competencies required of and unique to effective distance simulation educators. Methods: This was a multiphasic and iterative modified Delphi study validating the content of carefully and rigorously synthesized literature. Experts were invited from around the globe to participate in this study with mandatory attendance at an annual health care simulation conference to openly discuss the guidelines presented as competencies in this document. We divided each competency into "Basic" and "Advanced" levels, and agreement was sought for these levels individually. The experts provided their opinion by choosing the options of "Keep, Modify, or Delete." A free-marginal kappa of 0.60 was chosen a priori. Results: At the conclusion of the Delphi process, the number of competencies changed from 66 to 59, basic subcompetencies from 216 to 196, and advanced subcompetencies from 179 to 182. Conclusions: This article provides the first set of consensus guidelines to distance simulation educators in health care, and paved the way for further research in distance simulation as a modality.
