Learning Efficacy and Motivation of Medical Students in Clinical Training With Virtual Reality

Learning Efficacy and Motivation of Medical Students Between Different Teaching Materials and Methods in Clinical Training for Anesthesia and Perioperative Care

We created a curriculum based on clinical events with 360° camera on an interactive learning platform. We hypothesize that medical students will learn better and be motivated with the immersive 360 video and virtual reality headset during the clinical training.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Motivation; Efficacy, Self
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Virtual Reality 360 interactive video; Other: Traditional mini-lecture

Detailed Description

We created a curriculum based on rapid sequence induction before anesthesia induction with 360° camera and put it on an interactive learning platform. We hypothesize that medical students will have better learning efficacy and motivation with the immersive 360 video and virtual reality headset. Moreover, the learning engagement will be translated into clinical skills acquisition and medical knowledge retention.
