Assessing Immersive Virtual Reality as Learning Tool for Surgical Trainees
iVR is a useful adjunct in procedural training. It is well-tolerated by users and more engaging than 2D video. It may improve hands-on skills acquisition without negatively impacting knowledge acquisition or artificially inflating procedural confidence. Larger scale studies are needed to assess this technology more thoroughly.
