ABSTRACT
Aim:
We attempted to convert a simulation course held on-site for primary care physicians to learn about the initial treatment of minor emergencies, including some common surgical procedures, to an online format.Methods:
We reviewed the subjects covered in the course and evaluated whether it was "decision-making" or "technical skills" that had been primarily taught as simulation-based training for each subject, and then supplemented the contents accordingly.Results:
As a result, satisfaction levels with the online course were comparable to those with the on-site course as measured by a postcourse questionnaire (97.6% [83/85 participants] rating it as "excellent" or "good" on a 5-point Likert scale postcourse questionnaire).Conclusion:
We showed that it is reasonable to offer simulation in place of in-person training even for some procedures that were once assumed to be difficult to teach online. Of note, the online course is not just a replacement for the on-site course; it can offer other benefits, including opportunities for those who have difficulty attending courses due to distance or work-related reasons. After the COVID-19 pandemic period, both onsite and online courses can be held, allowing participants to choose the style of course that best suits their situation.
