Background:

Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly adopted in medical education to supplement traditional learning and prepare students for clinical practice in a controlled environment.
Effective implementation of VR in education requires careful planning to ensure technology serves pedagogical goals, rather than dictating them.

Purpose of the Study:

To share practical insights and strategies for developing and delivering effective VR-based learning experiences in medical education.
To provide guidance based on hands-on experience in teaching anatomy and clinical reasoning using VR technology.

Main Methods:

Educational sessions were conducted using VR technology to teach medical students.
Student reception and feedback were gathered following the VR learning sessions.
Experiences were synthesized to formulate practical recommendations.

Main Results:

VR educational sessions focusing on anatomy and clinical reasoning were positively received by students.
The study identified key challenges and best practices for VR integration in medical training.

Conclusions:

Virtual reality is a valuable tool for medical education, offering unique learning opportunities.
12 practical tips are presented to guide educators in creating and implementing successful VR learning modules, ensuring educational objectives are met.
