Abstract
There is a need for collaborative, participatory exploration into emerging simulation technologies supportive of distributed, interdisciplinary practice to promote cultures of collaborative praxis. Higher educational institutions are adapting curriculum to support interprofessional education among healthcare students such as in medicine, nursing, and social work to build the ability to practice with greater safety for patient care. An analysis of critical supporting factors and challenges for distributed teams seeking to develop virtual simulations is presented with guidelines for distributed development and delivery using emerging simulation platforms applicable to healthcare teams and beyond.
