High-fidelity vs low-fidelity simulation: What’s actually worth the effort?

  • 1.  High-fidelity vs low-fidelity simulation: What’s actually worth the effort?

    Posted 5 days ago

    Some of us face pressure to invest in high-fidelity simulation—but does it always add value? Some of us may not have access to high-fidelity simulation--does it make a difference?

    In your experience, when is high-fidelity simulation worth it, and when is a simpler approach just as effective?

    How did certain factors play into your decision?

    • Cost vs learning outcomes
    • Faculty time and training
    • Student engagement and realism
