Simulation has become a popular and ubiquitous medical education tool. In response to learner demands, and because of technological advancement, there is a trend toward increasing the realism of simulation. However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding what degree of fidelity is needed to deliver optimal simulation-based medical education. Feedback from the Simulated Trauma And Resuscitation Team Training (S.T.A.R.T.T.) course suggests that higherfidelity simulation is viewed as highly valuable to learners. Research is needed in order to guide the growing demand for higher-fidelity simulation in our medical training curricula and in order to justify or mitigate the associated costs and logistical challenges.
模拟已经成为一种流行且无处不在的医学教育工具。为了满足学习者的需求，并且由于技术的进步，模拟的逼真度呈现出增加的趋势。然而，关于需要达到何种逼真度才能提供最佳基于模拟的医学教育，证据仍然匮乏。来自模拟创伤和复苏团队培训（S.T.A.R.T.T.）课程的反馈表明，更高的逼真度模拟被认为对学习者具有很高的价值。为了指导我们医学培训课程中对更高逼真度模拟的日益增长的需求，并证明或减轻相关成本和后勤挑战的合理性，有必要开展研究。
