Medical students often find the transition to clerkship challenging and stressful. The use of virtual reality (VR) technologies such as screen-based learning, 360-video and immersive VR using head-mount-devices is becoming more utilized in medical education. Immersive technologies in particular have been shown to lead to greater enthusiasm and provide higher knowledge gain for students compared to screen-based VR. The University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine has developed a novel immersive patient experience using VR to enhance the clinical skills program and evaluate student perception regarding its formal integration into curricula. Students reported positive feedback on the experience, and interest in more immersive learning opportunities in future sessions. VR technology has the potential to enhance medical education and provide a safe immersive learning environment to build clinical acumen.
医学生常常发现向临床实习的过渡具有挑战性且压力重重。虚拟现实（VR）技术，如基于屏幕的学习、360度视频以及使用头戴设备的沉浸式VR，在医学教育中的应用越来越广泛。特别是沉浸式技术已被证明与基于屏幕的VR相比，能让学生产生更高的热情并获得更多知识。英属哥伦比亚大学医学院开发了一种使用VR的新型沉浸式患者体验，以加强临床技能项目，并评估学生对将其正式纳入课程的看法。学生们对该体验给予了积极反馈，并对未来课程中更多的沉浸式学习机会表现出兴趣。VR技术有潜力提升医学教育，并提供一个安全的沉浸式学习环境来培养临床敏锐度。
