In this episode, we explore the findings of a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) in training healthcare professionals. Hosts Zaynab and Yassin break down how VR interventions impact learners' knowledge, skills, and attitudes compared to traditional education methods. With data from 31 studies, the results are compelling—VR shows significant improvements in hands-on skills, but questions remain about long-term impact, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility.
Join us as we discuss the potential of VR in transforming health professions education, the ethical considerations of equitable access to this technology, and the need for more research on its broader implications. Whether you’re an educator, student, or healthcare professional, this episode dives deep into how VR could shape the future of medical training.
