More Is Not Always Better in Simulation. Learners' Evaluation of a "Chest Model".

ABSTRACT: Background: Fidelity in simulation is an important design feature. Although it is typically seen as bipolar (i.e., "high" or "low"), fidelity is actually multidimensional. There are concerns that "low fidelity" might impede the immersion of learners during simulation training. "Locally built models" are characterized by decreased cost and reduced "structural" fidelity (how the simulator looks) while satisfying "functional" fidelity (what the simulator does). Objective: To 1) describe the use of a locally built chest tube model in building a mastery-based simulation curriculum and 2) describe evaluation of the model from learners in different stages and contexts. Methods: The model was built on the basis of key functional features of the assigned training
