Learning Objective 1:
Identify multiple ways in which simulation has been adapted to continue education druing the COVID-19 pandemic
Learning Objective 2:
Discuss simulation as an educational tool to prepare healtcare personnel for COVID-19
Learning Objective 3:
Implement modifications to conventional sim education to maintain and foster simulation during the COVID-19 pandemic
Course Overview:
During the activity, using a panel format,nine projects were selected for presentation. The topic of this panel revolves around the impact that COVID19 had on simulation education in Anesthesia. We solicited projects with the goal to showcase how our members adapted their simulation education for the learners, highlighting the challenges they faced and how they overcome barriers to make simulation possible and impactful.

Co-Presenter: Dee Wu, PhD, University of Oklahoma City About the co-presenter: Dr. Wu has expertise in improving clinical protocols and methodology. Clinical Simulation is a perfect vehicle for instruction and preparation of healthcare workers. Collaboration is the cornerstone of his practice strategy for "clinical translation.” He facilitates the proper operation of medical equipment that is essential for our hospital system. This includes the evaluation of hardware and software and working closely with medical staff and vendors for achieving best results. His goal also concerns better safety practice and to ensure compliance with regulatory mandated requirements by novel technology implementation and appropriate use. He is currently researching clinical simulations to aid with MR Safety. Dr. Wu’s service also includes maintaining and providing Continuous Quality Assurance across clinical services at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center (OUMC) and the adjoining Oklahoma City Veterans Administration Health Care System (VAHCS), which includes three different scanner manufacturer systems. Dr. Wu is currently a member of the Society of Directors of Academic Medical Physics Programs (SDAMPP). He is boarded in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Physics by the American Board of Magnetic Resonance Safety (ABMRS). Patient Safety is a key, cultural and essential part of any hospital system and is a primary responsibility. He recently co-presented a grand round’s presentation to anesthesiology for MRI Safety. This presentation was co-developed between our department and technologists and Dr. Cassandra Duncan-Azadi, our chief pediatric anesthesiologist. Another important service for him includes his work with OU Physicians and the hospital technologists to achieve clinical objectives for improved clinical procedures. He has presented his educational research at national/international meetings where he continues to demonstrate and promote our educational research in online teaching curriculum development and microlearning/snippet teaching strategies. Dr Wu was recognized and serves as a member of the Academy Teaching Scholars (ATS) where he currently is the mentorship and scholarship chair. Recently, he has been an advocate for clinical simulation and improvement in interprofessional collaboration to build the simulation curriculum. He stays committed to advance our educational program not only in the basic sciences, but also to the medical community where he continue to develop, promote, and mentor both students, residents, fellows, and junior faculty in education, service, and scholarship here at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Clinical Simulation is an important of our organization.
