Abstract:
Fidelity is a term that has been used in the medical simulation field to describe how “real” or lifelike a simulator or simulated experience is. This presentation will challenge conventional assumptions of fidelity, and present a holistic approach to the new definition of fidelity. If the dictionary definition of fidelity is that which is defined as “real” , how can we replicate not just technology (manikins, AV systems, VR) but the entire simulated experience including technology, environment and aligned learning objectives? Showcases the technologies available from Echo Healthcare.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn to apply appropriate objectives to level of training.
- Broaden understanding of current technology and application to specific learning environments.
- Review the levels of fidelity available in medical simulation.
