The use of virtual reality (VR) in medical education is revolutionizing the way future doctors are trained. Traditional medical training methods are being complemented with immersive VR simulations, offering numerous educational advantages. Research indicates that simulation-based training, including VR, enhances a medical student's knowledge, improves decision-making skills, fosters teamwork, and enhances psychomotor abilities. In a Forbes article, Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency medicine physician, highlights how VR can expose medical students to realistic, high-pressure clinical scenarios, enabling them to develop rapid thinking and analysis skills necessary for managing critically ill patients

The article suggests that while a fully virtual medical school may not be practical due to the specific requirements of medical education, there is a strong case for incorporating more virtual elements into medical curricula. Traditional medical education faces challenges in delivering vast amounts of content, developing students' practical skills, and adapting to the rapidly changing landscape of medical practice. By utilizing virtual learning methods, medical educators can collaborate across institutions to create, aggregate, and curate content based on nationally recognized curricular guidelines. This approach has the potential to improve the quality and efficiency of medical education. |
