Adaptive change in simulation education: Comparison of effectiveness of a communication skill curriculum on death notification using in‐person methods versus a digital communication platform

Mandates to social distance and “shelter in place” during the COVID‐19 pandemic necessitated the exploration of new academic content delivery methods. Digital communication platforms (DCP; e.g., Zoom) were widely used to facilitate content delivery, yet little is known about DCP’s capacity or effectiveness, especially for simulation.
