A comparison of high-fidelity and virtual reality simulation as assessment tools in undergraduate medical education.

ABSTRACT: Simulation is widely used across many aspects of health professions education and, in recent years, has begun to be explored as an assessme nt tool, particularly in relation to examining technical clinical skills. Although previous research has suggested that simulation may be an effective tool for assessing clinical skills, there is a lack of evidence exploring which form of technology may be a more reliable assessment tool. This crossover study aimed to compare two forms of simulation technology-a high-fidelity manikin and virtual reality, as potential tools for assessing acute clinical care assessment skills. The participating students completed two different simulation scenarios: one scenario using a high-fidelity manikin and one using a virtual reality system. The two scenarios were t
