Summary
This study compares using a PlayStation VR2 virtual reality module versus a standard lecture to teach wrist anatomy to 80 first-year medical students. Students are randomly assigned to either a 30-minute VR session or a 30-minute classroom lecture. The main goal is to see which group scores higher on a knowledge test right after learning, and again 2-4 weeks later.

What this could lead to
If VR proves as good or better than lectures, it could offer a new, engaging way to teach anatomy to medical students.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early educational study, not a treatment trial. VR may cause side effects like dizziness or eye strain, and results may not apply to other subjects or schools.
