Background: In 2018, we developed a Virtual Reality Neurologic Examination Teaching tool (VRNET) to educate medical students on the neurological symptoms of the eye and face that could not be easily simulated by standardized patients (SP). VRNET 2.0, an enhanced version, facilitates neurological examinations of the arms and legs, thereby eliminating the need for SP and relying solely on the program for education. This study introduces VRNET 2.0 and reports its application in medical student education.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the responses to a questionnaire administered to 362 fourth-year medical students after the completion of a practice run from March 2018 to October 2021. The questionnaire included questions on satisfaction, difficulty, appropriateness of time allocation, expectation, and achievement of learning goals.
Results: Compared to the training method using SP + VRNET in 2019, training using VRNET 2.0 in 2021 was found to be superior in terms of satisfaction (8.18 [SP+VRNET] vs 8.81 [VRNET 2.0], p=.011) and difficulty (7.95 [SP+VRNET] vs 7.25 [VRNET 2.0], p=.040).
Conclusion: Neurologic examination training using VRNET 2.0 for medical students showed higher satisfaction and lower difficulty than the training program combining SP and VRNET. Further research is essential to assess the actual educational effectiveness of VRNET 2.0.
