The effectiveness of varied levels of simulation fidelity on integrated performance of technical skills in midwifery students - a randomised intervention trial

Background: Simulation as a pedagogical approach is used in health professional education to address the need to safely develop effective clinical skills prior to undertaking clinical practice, in complex healthcare environments. Evidence for the use of simulation in midwifery is largely anecdotal, and research evaluating the effectiveness of different levels of simulation fidelity is lacking
