Abstract Background Numerous studies support debriefing after an in-person simulation experience. However, there is little understanding about effective debriefing methods after a virtual simulation. Method An experimental study was conducted to examine various debriefing methods. Participants completed a virtual gaming simulation and were randomly assigned to one of three debriefing methods: in person, virtual, and self. Results Within groups, students made significant knowledge and self-efficacy gains, and all groups rated their debriefing experience highly. There were no significant differences in outcomes between groups. Conclusion There is evidence to support alternative debriefing methods beyond the traditional in-person approach after a virtual gaming simulation.
