More students strongly agreed that the SimMan 3G® simulation provided a useful learning experience as compared to the Oxford Medical Simulation (OMS) virtual reality simulation (p < 0.02)
20% of students disagreed that the OMS virtual reality simulation provided a realistic experience
Summary
Simulation is used in many countries to facilitate teaching and learning in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education.[1] Due to the nearly limitless range of skills potentially recreated in a simulated environment without impacting on patient safety, medical schools across many countries have formally adopted simulation into their medical education curriculum. There is little research comparing virtual reality to high-fidelity patient simulators in medical education, there is some evidence to suggest that complete immersion, such as that delivered by virtual reality with a head-mounted display, helps to improve knowledge acquisition and conceptual learning.[10,11]
