Abstract：
COVID 19 struck us all like a bolt of lightning and for the past 10 months, it has tested our resilience, agility, creativity, and adaptability in all aspects of our lives and work. Simulation centers and simulation-based educational programs have not been spared. Rather than wait for the pandemic to be over before commencing operations and training, we have been actively looking at programs, reviewing alternative methods such as e-learning, use of virtual learning platforms, decentralization of training using in situ simulation (ISS) modeling, partnerships with relevant clinical departments, cross-training of staff to attain useful secondary skills, and many other alternatives and substitutes. It has been an eye-opening journey as we maximize our staff\'s talent and potential in new adoptions and stretching our goals beyond what we deemed was possible. This paper shares perspectives from simulation centers; The SingHealth Duke NUS Institute of Medical Simulation which is integrated with an Academic Medical Center in Singapore, The Robert and Dorothy Rector Clinical Skills and Simulation Center, which is integrated with Thomas Jefferson University, Oakhill Emergency Department, Florida State University Emergency Medicine Program, Florida, USA and The Wellington Regional Simulation and skills center. It describes the experiences from the time when COVID 19 first struck countries around the world to the current state whereby the simulation centers have stWWarting functioning in their \"new norm.\" These centers were representative examples of those in countries which had extremely heavy (USA), moderate (Singapore) as well as light (New Zealand) load of COVID 19 cases in the nation. Whichever categories these centers were in, they all faced disruption and had to make the necessary adjustments, aligning with national policies and advisories. As there is no existing tried and tested model for the running of a simulation center during an infectious disease pandemic, this can serve as a landmark reference paper, as we continue to fine-tune and prepare for the next new, emerging infectious disease or crisis.
摘要：
新冠肺炎像一道闪电击中了我们所有人，在过去的10个月里，它考验了我们的韧性，敏捷性,创造力,以及我们生活和工作各个方面的适应性。模拟中心和基于模拟的教育计划也未能幸免。与其等大流行结束后再开始行动和培训，我们一直在积极研究项目，回顾电子学习等替代方法，使用虚拟学习平台，使用原位仿真(ISS)建模的培训分散化，与相关临床部门的伙伴关系，交叉培训员工以获得有用的次要技能，以及许多其他替代品和替代品。这是一个令人大开眼界的旅程，因为我们在新收养中最大限度地发挥员工的才能和潜力，并将我们的目标扩展到我们认为可能的目标之外。本文分享了模拟中心的观点；与新加坡学术医学中心整合的SingHealthDukeNUS医学模拟研究所，罗伯特和多萝西校长临床技能和模拟中心，它与托马斯·杰斐逊大学整合在一起，Oakhill急诊科,佛罗里达州立大学急诊医学计划，佛罗里达,美国和惠灵顿地区模拟和技能中心。它描述了从COVID19首次袭击世界各国到目前的状态的经验，即模拟中心在其“新规范”中发挥了作用。“这些中心是那些在国家的代表性的例子，有极其沉重（美国），全国中度(新加坡)和轻度(新西兰)COVID19例。无论这些中心属于哪个类别，他们都面临着混乱，不得不做出必要的调整，符合国家政策和建议。由于在传染病大流行期间，没有现有的久经考验的模拟中心运行模型，这可以作为具有里程碑意义的参考文件，当我们继续微调并为下一个新的，新出现的传染病或危机。
