Noteworthy

The Sim Exchange is an open online collaborative library of simulation scenarios contributed by educators and simulationists. It was updated in 2022 through funding from the Canadian Government. Developed by individuals with the intent to share these resources; variety of lengths and resources provided allow user to adapt these for use within any curriculum. Some scenarios are interprofessional in nature; some have additional context that can be used for discussion outside of the main topic – reference the learning objectives. There are contributions to this exchange with files to use for onsite simulation, but these resources were not reviewed as no virtual simulation product available. For those under Virtu-WIL, many of the scenarios have a French version.
