Virtual reality—an innovative tool in medical education

VR-based training significantly enhances neuroanatomy learning outcomes compared to conventional teaching, particularly when introduced early. Its immersive and interactive features promote deeper engagement, retention, and motivation. While cost remains a barrier, VR holds substantial potential as a sustainable adjunct to medical curricula and a means to inspire interest in surgical specialities.

Abstract

VR-based training significantly enhances neuroanatomy learning outcomes compared to conventional teaching, particularly when introduced early. Its immersive and interactive features promote deeper engagement, retention, and motivation. While cost remains a barrier, VR holds substantial potential as a sustainable adjunct to medical curricula and a means to inspire interest in surgical specialities.
