- The aim of this project is to conduct a pilot study on the use of Virtual Reality (VR) in clinical skills training of undergraduate medical students. The study will investigate the use of VR primary assessment scenarios developed by Oxford Medical Simulation. Third medical year students will be recruited with questionnaires and focus groups being used to assess the user acceptability and feasibility of using VR in undergraduate medical training. The study will also compare mannequin-based and VR simulation in primary assessment training.
