To investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) experiences in enhancing the learning of head and neck anatomy.
Pilot study design utilizing virtual reality technology for anatomy learning
Participants engaged in VR experiences focused on head and neck anatomy
Assessment of student confidence and understanding pre- and post-VR exposure
Students reported increased confidence in their understanding of head and neck anatomy
Enhanced comprehension of complex anatomical structures noted after VR experiences
Positive feedback regarding the usability of VR regardless of technological background
Abstract
Anatomic VR experiences are a valuable adjunct in medical education, enhancing student confidence and understanding of complex head and neck anatomy, independent of technological background.
