Overview

Randomised trial shows no significant differences in learning outcomes between virtual reality and in-person simulation for sepsis management in medical students, suggesting feasibility for future studies.

Key Points

  • MAIN FINDING: Learning outcomes for sepsis management were similar between virtual reality and in-person simulation groups.
  • KEY EVIDENCE: No significant differences in mQSAT scores were found across all participant groups in the assessment of skills and knowledge.
  • APPROACH: The study involved 32 final-year medical students who experienced both VR and in-person simulation scenarios for sepsis management.
  • SIGNIFICANCE: Findings support the ethical use of virtual reality as a viable educational tool alongside in-person simulation in medical training.
