Objective
Simulation has emerged as a novel strategy for training overdose response, yet little is known about training non-clinicians in bystander resuscitation.
Findings/Key points
Our study supports the notion that expanding simulation-based education to non-clinicians may offer an acceptable and effective way of supplementing current opioid overdose education strategies. Increasing the accessibility of simulation-based education may represent a paradigm shift whereby simulation is transformed from a primarily academic practice into a patient-based community resource.
