      ab: Introduction: Simulation-based learning (SBL) is a recognised teaching and learning tool within higher education (HE) and one capable of facilitating skill retention and knowledge retrieval. Successfully achieving these outcomes relies on effective design, delivery and debriefing; yet a limited range of publications draw together these fundamental components. High-fidelity simulation (HFS) describes a sub-division of SBL that, in recent years, has generated traction within healthcare education. Aims: To support educators in orchestrating HFS with greater impact and influence, the author set out to compose an article outlining five constructs that collectively possess scope to optimise HE teaching and learning outcomes. These five constructs consist of: (1) creating a believable scenario; (2) integrating the five principles of 'fidelity harmony'; (3) selecting an appropriate modality; (4) adopting a clear pedagogical stance; and (5) amalgamating concepts of experiential learning theory into the briefing and debriefing. When dynamically incorporated, important gaps between theory and practice can be bridged and learner experience will be significantly enhanced. Conclusion: This article offers HE educators a series of recommendations for creating deeply immersive learning experiences for augmenting learner performance, and provides a new definition for HFS, which challenges the erroneous notion that 'high fidelity' represents 'high technology'.
