ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a new virtual reality simulator designed to help medical students learn how to assist with normal vaginal deliveries. Researchers want to see how well this virtual reality experience compares to traditional training using a physical mannequin. The main goal is to find out which method helps students learn better by comparing their knowledge before and after the training. Participants will also share their opinions on which training method they prefer.
To be part of this study, you need to be a 4th-year medical student currently doing your training in obstetrics and gynecology. If you choose to join, you will experience both the virtual reality and mannequin training and provide feedback on each. The study has received ethical approval, which means it's been reviewed to ensure it's safe and fair for participants. Your participation will help improve medical education for future doctors!
