Table 4 Information included in the telesimulation agreement

Students’ learning contract

• In this section, students were informed about the format differences between the online and the in-person simulations including the fact that they were going to have pre-assigned roles. They were told about the need to have a professional behavior at all times, to suspend disbelief, and to engage in their role as physicians, which required connecting on time and wearing a white coat as they usually do at the hospital. They were also asked to engage in a respectful relationship with the SPs, as they would in a telemedicine consult

Confidentiality of scenarios

• Participants were informed about their moral obligation not to talk about the scenarios and other participants’ performance. Zoom™ recording functions were disabled for the participants

Security and good Zoom™ practices

• Participants were asked to use a stable connection and to connect via the Moodle™ platform. They were also asked to download the latest Zoom™ version to guarantee that all the functionalities would work when needed

Authorization to record and review video recordings for technical, educational, and research purposes

• Participants were asked to consent (or not) to the use of their data for further technical and/or research purposes
