- Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, long-term care homes in Canada were among the earliest and most impacted care sites. In response to an urgent need for staff support and education, a multidisciplinary network on Vancouver Island developed a novel on-site simulation training program. Through rapid scale-up over a wide geographical area, over 300 staff at eight long-term care homes received training early in the pandemic and reported enhanced confidence to provide care for vulnerable patients in extremely challenging conditions. We describe this local innovation, outline its impacts, and reflect on future opportunities to leverage simulation-based education for interprofessional health teams.
