360-degree video to help medical students find their way
This study tests whether an immersive 360-degree video can improve how well first- and second-year medical students learn spatial orientation (finding locations and understanding layout). It may help you practice navigating a hospital more easily without relying on in-person prior experience.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways for trainee anaesthetists to learn about regional anaesthesia (numbing specific body areas for surgery): using virtual reality (VR) versus a traditional teaching method. If you are a trainee anaesthetist, this could help improve how future doctors are trained.
This study looks at using a haptic (touch-based) virtual reality simulation to help nursing students learn practical skills. If you are a first-time nursing student without simulation experience, you may be able to join and try this new training approach.
This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) tool helps dental students learn how to handle medical emergencies better. If you are a 4th year dental student at ACTA, you may be able to join and practice these skills in a realistic, safe VR environment.
This trial tests if watching personalized 3D videos of movements can help improve walking and other skills in people with Parkinson's. It involves using a special viewer to watch actions that match your own needs.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) helps medical students learn anesthesia skills better than standard training. If you're a third-year medical student about to start your anesthesia rotation, you might be able to join and help improve how future doctors train.
This study tests whether using virtual reality can help medical students learn better and feel more confident in their training. Researchers will compare how students learn with VR versus traditional methods.
