Telesimulation for remote simulation and assessment

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.
