RESUMEN
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.
Les étudiants en médecine trouvent souvent la transition vers l'externat difficile et stressante. L'utilisation des technologies de réalité virtuelle (RV), telles que l'apprentissage sur écran, la vidéo à 360° et la RV immersive à l'aide de dispositifs de tête, est de plus en plus répandue dans le secteur de la formation médicale. On a démontré que les technologies immersives, en particulier, suscitent un plus grand enthousiasme et permettent aux étudiants d'acquérir davantage de connaissances que la RV sur écran. La Faculté de médecine de l'Université de la Colombie-Britannique a mis au point une nouvelle expérience immersive du patient en utilisant la RV pour améliorer le programme de compétences cliniques et évaluer la perception des étudiants concernant son intégration formelle dans les programmes d'études. Les étudiants ont fait part de leurs réactions positives à l'égard de l'expérience et de leur intérêt pour des possibilités d'apprentissage plus immersives dans les sessions futures. La technologie de la RV a le potentiel d'améliorer la formation médicale et de fournir un environnement d'apprentissage immersif sûr pour développer le sens clinique.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Videos are increasingly used in medical education. They are effective for teaching difficult-to-grasp concepts that rely heavily on visuospatial processing ability such as anatomy, surgical procedures, and physical exam maneuvers. Common pitfalls of existing videos include lackluster audiovisual quality, poor camera angles, absence of formal teaching as narration, or excessive length. This article serves to assist educators who wish to produce educational clinical encounter videos that maximize student learning. We detail 12 tips focused on improving the quality of clinical educational videos, mitigating cognitive load within a video, and understanding the technicalities of video production. These tips are based on review of existing literature on neurocognitive learning theories and the succeeding Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML), as well as our experience in producing educational videos.
