The use of synchronous online simulation as a component of indirect learning hours is an innovative approach as a mechanism for the continuation of progress of student skills and teaching advanced practice competencies and skills in a global pandemic. The use of faculty-led synchronous simulation, student-led virtual simulation, and online modules has been a beneficial adjunct for while the classroom and clinical setting are unavailable during the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Learning Objectives:

Identify synchronous vs. asynchronous approaches to learning highlighted during the global pandemic and crisis.
List the ways in which students felt that synchronous education online was advantageous in continuing the development of their skills and education.
