Abstract: (13 Views)
Education is a tool for providing the human resources necessary to advance the nation's affairs. Quality education leads to the development of a more competent workforce and, ultimately, to the delivery of better services to society. Over the past decade, and particularly in recent years, technology has experienced a remarkable growth. These advancements have also found applications in education. Virtual reality, as an emerging technology, can be extensively utilized in medical education and lead to a deeper and more effective learning of both conceptual knowledge and clinical skills. This short paper attempts to briefly review some research findings regarding the application of virtual reality in medical education, and propose solutions for its implementation in medical training, considering the limitations that hinder its widespread use.
