Is Simulation-Based Training Effective

I’ve been thinking about how realistic simulation training really is for improving our skills. I recently completed a course that focused on high-fidelity simulations, and it felt so much different than just theoretical learning. Does anyone have experiences with simulation training that they found particularly helpful or not worth the time?
