Virtual Reality in Training and Assessment Among Clinical Students and Lecturers at a Nigerian University: A Phenomenological Study
The use of VR in the teaching and assessment of clinical students at a Nigerian university is perceived as a complementary method of learning that increases skill acquisition, provides unlimited access to training, and enhances proficiency. While VR is considered to be engaging and beneficial to health care professionals' education, there is a need for its effective incorporation into clinical courses and mitigation of challenges such as cost and technology to ensure the realization of the full potential of VR in health care professionals' education.
