The COVID-19 pandemic forced medical schools to adjust their curricula online, including anatomy courses. This study explores the use of a virtual reality workspace for anatomy lectures and its advantages in improving student understanding of anatomy. Feedback from medical students participating in the VR workspace showed benefits in accessing course material anytime and anywhere, as well as manipulating anatomical structures for a better learning experience.
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a challenge for many medical schools, as they have had to adjust their curricula into an online format. This was particularly problematic for anatomy courses as in person dissections have historically been preferred for providing students with a three-dimensional learning environment. In this study, we aim to share our experience with conducting anatomy lectures for medical student using a virtual reality (VR) workspace. Additionally, we discuss the advantages of using VR and expand on how it may be used to improve students' understanding of anatomy in comparison to various other online lecture formats. To do this, we utilized a post-lecture survey to gain feedback from the medical students that participated in a VR anatomy workspace. We found that many of our participants expressed that having access to their course material from anywhere and anytime via a virtual space, and being able to manipulate anatomical structures by moving and modifying them provided the student with a strong advantage. Although there are still limitations, we hope that our experience will assist other anatomy teachers with improving their lecture methods, especially during the pandemic.
