ABSTRACT
SUMMARY STATEMENT The sudden rise of critically ill patients secondary to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has triggered a surge in healthcare response. This project's goal was to provide essential cognitive and technical skills to healthcare professionals returning to the workforce or reassigned to critical care clinical duties during the COVID-19 pandemic. The plan included the implementation of 4 distance-based simulation training programs, with asynchronous personalized feedback. The courses allowed the acquisition of skills for the complete critical care patient management chain use of personal protection equipment, use of a high-flow nasal cannula, endotracheal intubation, and prone positioning. Participants logged into the platform, reviewed material, practiced while recording the session, and uploaded the video through the training platform. The expert tutor remotely delivered asynchronous feedback. Participants trained remotely until achieving course approval. Remote-based simulation seems a feasible and attractive alternative to provide adequate educational solutions, especially for remote and rural areas.
