TL;DR
The results of this study indicate that simulation is highly valued by students, irrespective of the level of fidelity, which raises questions about the value of investing in expensive simulation modalities.
Abstract
The results of this study indicate that simulation is highly valued by students, irrespective of the level of fidelity. This raises questions about the value of investing in expensive simulation modalities. The Satisfaction with Simulation Experience Scale was reliable and valid for this cohort. Further research in different contexts would be valuable in extending upon this work.
