Embark on a captivating journey with Dr. Jo Davies, a distinguished healthcare and simulation expert, as she recounts her 30-year adventure that has taken her talents from the valleys of Wales to the sands of the Middle East and the coasts of Australia. In our latest episode, she unveils the groundbreaking "Virtual Reality: A Welsh Reality" project, a transformative step in marrying VR with simulation pedagogy. As the world grappled with a pandemic, Jo's insights into virtual training have become a beacon of innovation in medical education, ensuring students could continue their critical learning despite global lockdowns. Prepare to be engrossed by tales of creating immersive learning environments with multiplayer systems, all designed to elevate the training of future healthcare professionals.
We then dive into the practicalities and triumphs of integrating virtual reality into the healthcare education landscape, as Jo sheds light on the meticulous process of curriculum design. Witness the conception of seven VR modules, each meticulously crafted to replicate high-stakes medical emergencies and procedures. These modules, developed in an incredible seven-month sprint, didn't just simulate medical scenarios; they brought them to life, complete with 360 filming, computer-generated imagery, and the pressing need for teamwork in live medical situations. Dr. Davies' narrative doesn't just touch on the technology—it delves into the human element, discussing the expansion of VR's reach into university classrooms and beyond, the inclusivity of content for diverse patient care, and the nuanced feedback from students who've had their education transformed by this novel approach to learning. Join us for an eye-opening discussion that might just redefine the future of clinical education.
