“…Some topics are boring for trainees to learn and difficult to conceptualise even with video or animation; however, VR adds elements of fun through interactivity or even gamification to induce engagement and enjoyment. VR is able to completely switch learners to the virtual environment, enable easier access to multidirectional views and telecommunication, and view a situation from different perspectives, identify flaws in their thinking, and uncover assumptions 24 . VR can augment educational experiences unfeasible in the real world, which are essential for disciplines where learning from one's mistakes has unacceptable consequences.…”

ObjectiveTo design a virtual operation of joint replacement for surgical drills using a haptic device, SenSable_FreeForm_Modelling (SFM), to enhance surgeons' efficiency and enable “Virtual tutorial without reality” for interns.MethodA patient with hip joint osteoarthritis is randomly selected to perform Total Hip Replacement (THR). The hip images were input into Mimics in the format of *.dicom after CT scan and then exported to SFM using the stereolithographic (*.stl) format. A surgical toolkit can be created virtually with Computer Aided Design software such as Pro‐E or Ghost SDK and a visual drill scenario of THR directed by a force‐respondent stick, namely Phantom.Result3D models of the hip joint were rebuilt illustrating clearly that the geometrical shapes of the surgical equipment created are similar to real instruments, and the THR operation is emulated distinctly in novelty.ConclusionIn obedience to an ancient maxim, so called ‘genuine knowledge originated from practice’, this simulative operation offers hands‐on experience for students in the orthopaedics field with remarkable effects, contributing not only teaching cases for medical courses but also a planning basis for physical surgery.

Background: A recent revision to the Nurse Practitioner Role Core Competencies will lead to robust changes in graduate education. Incorporating innovative technology into the core courses of advanced practice nursing will prepare practice-ready providers with a high level of competence leading to successful health outcomes, improved patient satisfaction, and decreased health care costs. Problem: Graduate education lacks effective, innovative, and interactive visualization tools to study pathophysiology. There is a lack of evidence for the use of 3-dimensional (3D) augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality in advanced practice core courses. Approach: A collaborative iterative approach was used to design, develop, analyze, update, and reiterate a 3D AR tutorial for advanced pathophysiology. Outcomes: Students had a positive experience and perceive 3D AR as a learning tool that can increase examination scores. The visualization connected the pathophysiologic process of a disease to the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and associated treatments. Conclusions: 3D AR tutorials are an effective solution to facilitate learning difficult concepts in pathophysiology by incorporating multiple learning techniques: visual, aural, verbal, kinesthetic, and logical.

“…Didactic advantages for the use of 3D models have been described in anatomical teaching [ 1 ], additionally, 3D models have been successfully used in cardiac surgery training [ 10 ] and procedure planning [ 17 ]. It therefore appears plausible to transfer the concept to echocardiographic training.…”

The impact of 3D printed models on spatial orientation in echocardiography teaching

Purpose During our transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) courses, medical students showed difficulty in spatial orientation. We implemented the use of 3D printed cardiac models of standard TTE views PLAX, PSAX, and A4C and assessed their efficacy in TTE-teaching. Methods One hundred fifty-three participants were split into two groups. A pre-test-retest of anatomy, 2D -, and 3D orientation was conducted. The intervention group (n = 77) was taught using 3D models; the control group (n = 76) without. Both were comparable with respect to baseline parameters. Besides test-scores, a Likert scale recorded experiences, difficulties, and evaluation of teaching instruments. Results From the 153 students evaluated, 123 improved, 20 did worse, and ten achieved the same result after the course. The median overall pre-test score was 29 of 41 points, and the retest score was 35 (p < 0.001). However, the intervention group taught with the 3D models, scored significantly better overall (p = 0.016), and in 2D-thinking (p = 0.002) and visual thinking (p = 0.006) subtests. A backward multivariate linear regression model revealed that the 3D models are a strong individual predictor of an excellent visual thinking score. In addition, our study showed that students with difficulty in visual thinking benefited considerably from the 3D models. Conclusion Students taught using the 3D models significantly improved when compared with conventional teaching. Students regarded the provided models as most helpful in their learning process. We advocate the implementation of 3D-printed heart models featuring the standard views for teaching echocardiography. These findings may be transferable to other evidence based medical and surgical teaching interventions.
