The Little Room of Horrors: Virtual Simulation in Medical Education during the Pandemic
Description
In this episode, Zaynab and Yassin explore how Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU) transitioned from traditional face-to-face medical simulations to an innovative virtual format during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dubbed The Little Room of Horrors, this creative approach challenged students to identify medical errors in a simulated environment, providing a safe yet impactful learning experience. The hosts discuss how MBRU developed the program in just seven days, the unexpected benefits of virtual simulations, and what this shift means for the future of medical education. Could virtual learning be the key to a more flexible, accessible, and sustainable future in healthcare training?
