In simulation-based health professions education, the concept of simulator fidelity is usually
understood as the degree to which a simulator looks, feels, and acts like a human patient …

Use of simulation‐based training is fast becoming a vital source of experiential learning in
medical education. Although simulation is a common tool for undergraduate and graduate …

Simulation-based healthcare education has expanded tremendously over the past few
years, as witnessed by the creation and growth of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare …

Simulation is the artificial representation of a real-world process with sufficient fidelity in
order to facilitate learning through immersion, reflection, feedback and practice without the …

Background. Fidelity-an intrinsic property of simulation is crucial to simulation design and to
educational effectiveness. Yet the term fidelit y is inconsistently used, which makes it difficult …

Over the past two decades, there has been an exponential and enthusiastic adoption of
simulation in healthcare education internationally. Medicine has learned much from …

Simulation has been widely used in the education of healthcare workers. In simulation
training, there is an approximation to reality in which trainees are supposed to react to …

High-Fidelity Simulation (HFS) is a misunderstood term. Too often, HFS is mistakenly used
to refer to a particular simulation modality, namely, the full-body, high-complexity patient …

Background Despite the recent wave of interest being shown in high‐fidelity simulators, they
do not represent a new concept in healthcare education. Simulators have been a part of …
