Simulation provides consistent opportunities for residents to practice high‐stakes, low‐frequency events such as pediatric resuscitations. To increase standardization across North American residency programs, the Emergency Medicine Resident Simulation Curriculum for Pediatrics (EM ReSCu Peds) was developed. However, access to high‐quality simulation/pediatric expertise is not uniform. As the concurrent COVID‐19 pandemic necessitated new virtual simulation methods, we adapted the Virtual Resus Room (VRR) to teach EM ReSCu Peds. VRR is an award‐winning, low‐resource, open‐access distance telesimulation platform we hypothesize will be effective and scalable for teaching this curriculum.

EM residents completed six VRR EM ReSCu Peds simulation cases and received immediate facilitator‐led teledebriefing. Learners completed retrospective pre–post surveys after each …
