Screen-Based Simulation and Virtual Reality for Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Screen-based simulation (SBS) and 3-dimensional virtual reality (3D VR) applied to pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) leverage digital technology to represent patients, populations, situations, and/or environments. SBS and 3D VR provide realistic, dynamic, safe opportunities for training and testing provider competency, systems-based practice, and environments. SBS engages the user to interact with a computer or mobile device screen to access and respond to content. Virtual reality adds the element of movement and/or allows manipulation of the SBS.
