COVID-19 has changed the way training is issued in the medical industry. With the need to reduce the number of people in the operating room, medical sales reps are finding they need a completely different approach to surgical demonstrations and procedural training.
Virtual reality (VR) technology helps to remove the barriers imposed by COVID-19 restrictions and pressures. It enables clinicians to immerse themselves in a range of real-world scenarios without traveling or risking their health.
VR Technology can be used to:
VR surgical simulation training helps medical professionals refine their skills and has been proven to reduce physician errors, improve surgeon speed, and increase surgical staff efficiency. The more opportunities a surgeon has to experience your devices and become familiar with the procedure, the more likely they are to use your products. VR makes surgical delivering demonstrations as easy as overnighting a headset to a potential customer.
Just a few examples of virtual reality scenarios include the simulation of a diagnostic imaging determination, surgical procedures, the treatment of a COVID-19 patient, or a forensic examination. Simulations can be remotely monitored and scored, adapting to the reaction of the person undergoing the training, making them a measurable information gathering application for eLearning and LMS integration. They also provide a risk-free environment to try new medical technologies and surgical techniques.
Traditionally, a lot of medical training has utilized cadavers, artificial anatomy models, and most often, real patients. With new regulations to ensure social distancing, it isn’t as easy as it used to be to schedule in-person training.
The benefits of using VR for training during a pandemic include:
With additional stress on the healthcare system and the call to retrain nurses and doctors returning to practice, VR provides the opportunity to reskill people quickly and effectively.
