Do-It-Yourself Skills Simulation Videos

Simulation training can improve pediatric care and pediatric preparedness, but sometimes a barrier to the use of simulation is cost. This collection of videos are from the 2021 New England Forum for Pediatric Preparedness, which can be found at https://learn.openpediatrics.org/lear.... The Forum is FREE and is hosted by OPENPediatrics, an open access online site containing peer-reviewed, best pediatric practices shared via digital learning technologies.
