Summary

This study tested a new way of teaching medical students about brain surgery using virtual reality (VR) and live-streamed operations. 112 fourth-year medical students were split into two groups: one used VR and watched live surgeries, while the other used traditional videos and readings. The goal was to see if the VR group improved their decision-making and interest in neurosurgery more than the control group.
