The New England Journal of Medicine Group has developed a virtual simulation on the treatment and management of suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19:
- There are different levels of cases, ranging from a mild case to an expert case.
- Several tasks can be performed, such as gathering data, developing a differential diagnosis, ordering diagnostic tests, asking for a specialist’s opinion and treating the patient.
- Feedback is giving back once the simulation ends.
- The outcome depends on the patient, the disease factors, as well as the choice of treatments and its timing.
- Each case can be replayed and can result in different outcomes and underlying diseases. Replaying is encouraged in order to experience the spectrum of presentation of the illness.
