Abstract
Background: Video telehealth is an important tool for health care delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given physical distancing recommendations, access to traditional in-person telehealth training for providers has been limited. Telesimulation is an alternative to in-person telehealth training. Telesimulation training with both remote participants and facilitators using telehealth software has not been described.
