Background: Using teamwork skills in an emergency was the goal of this virtual simulation for nursing, nurse practitioner, pharmacy, physical therapy, and social work students. Methods: The Team STEPPS® curriculum was used for pre-training. Online interprofessional student groups then practiced responding to a simulated patient emergency involving domestic abuse in a hospital room. Pre and post evaluation utilized The Performance Assessment Communication and Teamwork Tools Set (PACT). Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, paired t-tests and one-way analysis of variance. Results: Students (N=73) participated and pre/post surveys were completed (n=61). Learning and performance scores changed significantly from pre to posttest but there was no significant difference in mean responses found by profession. Students agreed that the “emergency” was not what they had expected and they appreciated the discussion of domestic violence. Conclusions: A simulated hospital emergency, was used effectively for virtually teaching communication skills and teamwork to interprofessional student groups Key points 1. A virtual interprofessional activity, using a simulated emergency, required groups of students to work together for team action. 2. Observation of domestic violence in a hospital setting was a powerful “emergency” which students in the IPE activity were not expecting and create rich debriefing conversations. 3. Use of virtual teaching for interprofessional education can be helpful to eliminate scheduling and space barriers
