Simulation in Action – Beyond High Fidelity: The Impact of Realism in Simulation
A practical look at the four dimensions of realism and five questions for deciding which cues, tools, and workflows your learners need most.
How simulation teams can focus realism on the cues, conversations, and workflows that build readiness for practice.
Every simulation asks learners to suspend some disbelief. So where should your realism efforts actually go? This Simulation in Action session makes the case that going beyond high fidelity isn’t about making everything lifelike. It’s about asking the “so what” and putting realism behind the cues your learning objectives depend on.
Watch the replay for a practical way to think about realism across four dimensions: physical, conceptual, interactional, and workflow. Cedrin Law, Product Manager, Patient Simulators at Elevate Healthcare, shows where common shortcuts quietly lead to negative learning. He explains why workflow is the dimension teams overlook most often, and how tools like Evo, EVO Aura, and Maestro AI are each designed around a specific compromise.
You’ll also see Maestro AI handle a live, unscripted patient conversation. You’ll come away with five questions to bring to your next scenario planning meeting. They’ll help you decide which cues, modalities, and workflows deserve your time and resources.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn why fidelity alone does not predict educational effectiveness, and how asking the “so what” focuses realism where it counts.
- Explore four dimensions of realism (physical, conceptual, interactional, and workflow) and how each one shapes what learners experience.
- Recognize how verbalized interventions and screen-only data can build bad habits, and why authentic workflow matters as much as patient response.
- See Maestro AI hold a realistic patient conversation that handles off-script questions and logs a full transcript for review after the activity.
- Apply five planning questions to choose the cues, modalities, and compromises that best fit your learning objectives and your team.
