“…Affordable units such as Oculus Rift open new possibilities in education, as also shown by our studies. We have earlier conducted a study with the Virtual Operating room in desktop modus [14]. When using the same scenarios with the Rift this time, we could make some preliminary comparisons (though it was not possible to use the same participants in both studies).…”

“…The related work gives examples of medical students that use realistic looking facilities in order to role-play or conduct clinical medical training with simulated patients [4,7,10]. As was mentioned in our first exploratory study with the surgical nursing students [14], the users would get the chance to be familiar with places and equipment before entering the same facilities in real life.…”

“…Application areas include practicing on patient counseling, solving virtual patient cases in collaboration with others, and emergency training. In our previous study, we demonstrated that such educational simulations in a Virtual Operating room can be implemented with limited resources, and yet be practically useful in education of health personnel [14].…”

The purpose of this work is to contribute to the design and development of a virtual university hospital as a place for educational activities. The findings presented in this paper are based on two exploratory studies using a virtual operating room with both medical and non-medical participants. The room was designed to recreate a real one at St. Olav's university hospital in Trondheim, Norway. The first participant category was represented by surgical and anesthesia postgraduate nursing students who conducted role-play of realistic and relevant scenarios in the virtual operating room. The non-medical participants went on a virtual guided tour around in the same operating room. Both participant groups provided suggestions for further development of the virtual hospital. We have also investigated the use of the Oculus Rift, a head mounted display, as a way of enhancing the immersion at the virtual operating room. The paper highlights and discusses the most important findings, with suggestions of future work.

“…Based on the context and challenges presented above, we have a vision of a smart approach to integrate educational activities delivered virtually with other educational activities that prepare the students for practice. We have therefore worked within the VUH framework introduced in [6,5]. We identified initial requirements, facilities and technological solutions for the VUH as an arena for educational activities, for personnel, students and for the public [5].…”

“…In short, we have made a virtual part of a hospital in the virtual world Second life (SL) with patient room, meeting room, operating theatre etc. We first developed mono-professional scenarios for training post-graduate nurses in a surgical environment, anesthesia and intensive care [5,6]. Then we moved on to a larger project called VirSam (virtual communication and collaboration, in Norwegian VIRtuell SAMhandling), where we focused on training for third year nursing and fourth year medical students on interprofessional team communication and collaboration.…”

A smart university must utilize different technical solutions to offer its students varied and innovative learning environments optimizing the core learning activities. Contact with patients is at the core of medical and health care education and often takes place at a university hospital. However, students from one profession seldom get the chance to practice in hospital setting with students from other professions, and they seldom see the whole patient trajectory during clinical practice. Establishing a smart virtual university hospital mirroring a real life hospital can prepare students for direct patient contact, for example, practice placement and clinical rotation, and thus optimize and sometimes also increase their time on task. Such a virtual arena will support student learning by providing adaptive and flexible solutions for practicing a variety of clinical situations at the students' own pace. We present a framework for a smart virtual university hospital and our experiences on developing and testing solutions for training interprofessional team communication and collaboration. In the main part of the work reported here, medicine and nursing students worked in groups with the clinical scenarios in a virtual hospital using desktop PCs alone and with virtual reality goggles. In the evaluation, it was found that all the students agreed that they had learned about the value of clear communication, which was the main learning outcome. Using virtual reality goggles, almost all the students reported that they felt more engaged into the situation than using desktop PCs alone. At the same time, most also reported 'cyber sickness'. We conclude that a smart virtual university hospital is a feasible alternative for collaborative interprofessional learning.
