In preparation for the COVID-19 pandemic, simulation came in handy in aiding health-care facilities around the world to establish strategies to manage its personnel, space, and processes through experiential learning. Simulation bloomed during the epidemic due to its flexibility and capacity to train large number of health-care professionals at different levels in a timely manner while maintaining high safety profile. This brief review aims at providing some examples of simulation use in the era of COVID-19 pandemic around the world. In addition, we will address some of the limitations that faced simulation-based learning and provide a glimpse to the future of simulation in addressing global pandemics.
