“…The most commonly cited challenges for TS instructors were technical in nature: unreliable internet connectivity, low bandwidth, issues with the software, and difficulties with audio and video outputs 4,13,16,23,29,33 . During the study of the remote delivery of the FLS course to surgeons in Botswana, dropped calls due to lost internet connection occurred 2–3 times per session 4 .…”

“…While TS can remove the need for instructors to physically travel to partner sites, there are still logistical issues that must be taken into consideration. Significant time‐zone differences between sites can make scheduling a challenge 19,33 . Language barriers between learners and instructors can degrade the quality of the learning experience.…”

Telesimulation (TS), the process of using the internet to link educators and trainees at locations remote from one another, harnesses the powers of technology to enable access to high‐quality simulation‐based education and assessment to learners across the globe. From its first uses in the teaching and assessment of laparoscopic skills to more recent interpretations during the current pandemic, TS has shown promise in helping educators to address pressing dilemmas in medical education.

Purpose Travel restrictions during the pandemic created a barrier to the traditional in‐person, observed assessment final examination of our emergency medicine (EM) training programs in India. We conducted remote practical boards and telesimulation bringing examiners and learners from different geographical locations together using an online video conferencing platform. The goal of this paper is to describe the process of implementing a large‐scale, international remote practical boards and telesimulation event. We aim to describe the evaluations of the feasibility and effectiveness of remote practical boards and telesimulation in an examination scenario and the feedback regarding the perception of fairness and attitudes from both examiners and examinees. Methods A total of 104 residents from 14 separate hospitals in eight cities across India were evaluated individually for practical board cases and in pairs for telesimulation. For practical boards, each examinee was evaluated twice, by two independent examiners. For telesimulation, each pair was evaluated by a local facilitator and a remote examiner via an online platform. There were 27 practical examiners and 14 local facilitators and 10 remote examiners for telesimulation. We obtained feedback in the form of a survey from local and remote examiners and examinees. Results We implemented a large‐scale, international remote practical boards and telesimulation event, connecting examinees and local examiners in eight cities in India with examiners in the United States and United Kingdom. Feedback was obtained from 24 examiners and 103 examinees. A total of 96.7% examiners and 96.9% of examinees felt that this examination was fair. All respondents agreed that this format saved time and costs. Conclusion This remote practical boards and telesimulation experience was a feasible and effective way to evaluate EM examinees medical knowledge, communication, and procedural skills. Technology issues was a limitation of our telesimulation experience. Future studies on telesimulation use in global EM training would be useful.

“…More sophisticated options include experts completely controlling a high-fidelity simulator and running a scenario/debrief much as you would if the learners and experts were at the same facility (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The feasibility of telesimulation has been described in a number of papers [26,30,31,32] including transoceanic telesimulation [33,34]. Multiple studies have also reported that the effectiveness of remote telesimulation is at least equal to in-person training [32,35,36,37], although one study reported communication issues between participants and the facilitator [36].…”

Use of Telemedicine to Improve Neonatal Resuscitation

Most newborn infants do well at birth; however, some require immediate attention by a team with advanced resuscitation skills. Providers at rural or community hospitals do not have as much opportunity for practice of their resuscitation skills as providers at larger centers and are, therefore, often unable to provide the high level of care needed in an emergency. Education through telemedicine can bring additional training opportunities to these rural sites in a low-resource model in order to better prepare them for advanced neonatal resuscitation. Telemedicine also offers the opportunity to immediately bring a more experienced team to newborns to provide support or even lead the resuscitation. Telemedicine can also be used to train and assist in the performance of emergent procedures occasionally required during a neonatal resuscitation including airway management, needle thoracentesis, and umbilical line placement. Telemedicine can provide unique opportunities to significantly increase the quality of neonatal resuscitation and stabilization in rural or community hospitals.
