This month we discussed “Leung, J.S., Brar, M., Eltorki, M. et al. Development of an in situ simulation-based continuing professional development curriculum in pediatric emergency medicine. Adv Simul 5, 12 (2020). 

Ben and I recap on the paper and the online discussion, Including the expert contributions from James Leung, the first author 

An we reviewed 3 extra papers – two looking at different ways healthcare simulation has been adapted to deal with the pandemic.
