Comparing self-guided and facilitator-guided virtual reality training for medical students

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of self-guided versus facilitator-guided immersive virtual reality simulations in teaching medical students how to manage critically ill children. Participants will engage in three virtual reality cases and provide feedback on their experiences, including ease of use, workload, and motivation. The study will also assess the incidence of cybersickness among students during the training. By comparing these two methods, the research seeks to determine if self-guided simulations can be as effective as those guided by a facilitator.
