Background:
This paper describes the rapid conversion of a face-to-face interprofessional (IP) disaster simulation to an online format in response to COVID-19 campus closures.
Methods:
The online disaster simulation utilized internet-based tools allowing real-time collaboration between IP students. Team exercises involved disaster triage, disease outbreak investigation, and disaster response. Surveys measuring self-assessment of various IP skills and simulation learning outcomes (SLOs) were compared with responses from previous face-to-face simulations.
Results:
Results indicated mean scores for IP skills were higher for online students when compared with in-person simulations, and all SLOs were met.
Conclusions:
The online disaster simulation provided an effective, innovative IP educational opportunity.
