Criterion 5

Simulation Fidelity

Refers to elements of realism that help the learner engage in the scenario

• Physical Fidelity: Mannequin, Moulage, supplies, props that accurately simulate the patient's condition
• Conceptual Fidelity: Case details that are realistic
• Environmental Fidelity: Location and setting are realistic to the scenario, for example if a critical care case the setting should look like an ICU

It is important to maintain planned fidelity to achieve objectives
