Popis: Background Nurse practitioner students have experienced restrictions on face-to-face clinical rotations to protect the health of students and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods In response to clinical closures, graduate NP faculty created an innovative intraprofessional virtual simulation to supplement the loss of required clinical hours. Results Competency was successfully measured during the simulation for medical and psychiatric scenarios, which allowed for immediate feedback and debrief. Conclusions The virtual simulation supported program rigor in a safe environment and may be applicable to other nurse practitioner programs looking for methods to expand learning experiences outside of the traditional clinical setting.
