Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Immersive Technologies

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic significantly challenged traditional medical and surgical training delivery.
  • Conventional anatomy learning methods, including cadaveric and bedside training, were disrupted.
  • Reduced operating theatre time and in-person sessions limited trainees' procedural skill development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline an innovative method for anatomy and surgical teaching using virtual reality (VR).
  • To address the difficulties in delivering high-quality medical training during the pandemic.
  • To explore the potential of immersive technology in medical education.

Main Methods:

  • Development and implementation of a 51-week virtual reality (VR) training course.
  • Utilisation of VR technology for anatomy and surgical teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
  • Provision of a free resource, "Virtual Reality in Medicine and Surgery," for trainees.

Main Results:

  • The VR training program aimed to ensure continued high-quality education despite pandemic-related disruptions.
  • The study highlights the adaptation of conventional anatomy learning methods.
  • Virtual Reality in Medicine and Surgery provided a structured learning pathway.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual reality (VR) presents a viable and innovative solution for medical and surgical training.
  • Immersive technology holds immense potential for the future of medical education.
  • Continued development and adoption of VR can enhance surgical skill acquisition and knowledge retention.
