VR training for future doctors: a new way to learn geriatric care?

This study tests whether cinematic virtual reality (VR) is more effective than traditional lectures for teaching medical students about geriatric care. One hundred students at Ohio University will be randomly assigned to either VR training or a lecture. The VR group will experience realistic scenarios of an older adult with multiple health issues. Researchers will compare students' clinical skills assessments to see if VR improves learning and readiness for residency.
