The effectiveness of VR-based human anatomy simulation training for undergraduate medical students.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a virtual reality (VR) human anatomy simulation training program for undergraduate medical students in Tunisia. Pre- and post-training questionnaires assessed student perceptions of the platform's accuracy, realism, ease of navigation, engagement, support for memorization, and its impact on reducing exam-related anxiety. A total of 179 students from the Faculty of Medicine of Sousse participated in the study. Findings indicate that VR anatomy simulation significantly enhances learning outcomes and is highly recommended as a supplementary tool alongside traditional instructional method. Notably, the platform is open-source, cost-effective, and globally scalable-designed to be easily adapted across diverse educational settings. By aligning with international efforts to expand equitable access to advanced learning technologies, this study contributes meaningful insights for both resource-limited and high-resource institutions seeking innovative approaches to anatomy education.
