Technology-advanced learning in healthcare has advanced dramatically in the last 10 years, with an increasing ability to recreate complex scenarios with clinical fidelity. Other technological developments can help to advance simulation-based training as part of a resilient approach to both common scenarios and rare events. In this article, I reflect on the some of the challenges of the developing paradigm of inter-professional high-fidelity simulation and the potential affordances of this modality.
