Abstract: (2405 Views) |
The use of virtual reality in medical education to create diverse and new learning opportunities while maintaining patient safety is rapidly expanding. A review of the current status of virtual reality use in medical education shows that the adoption of this simulation method in Iran's universities of medical sciences has not grown alongside developed countries. Due to the lack of a unified authority, the absence of facilities and technical infrastructure, and the lack of interdepartmental coordination, the responsible structures and institutions cannot meet students' educational needs. Given the importance of modern technologies in medical education, this policy brief provides the necessary strategies and policies to address this issue. This policy brief is one of the results of future study research on applying virtual reality in medical education conducted at the country's medical universities. It assists administrators and stakeholders in medical education in planning to use virtual reality to transform education from passive to active learning, reduce educational costs, and improve patient safety. |
