Simcast Podcast Features UbiSim Nurse Educator

In conversation with Tony and Lawrence, Christine shared her insights on the immersive power of VR simulation. She clarified the importance of having educators actually experience VR themselves so they can fully understand its potential, underscored the need to adhere to the INACSL Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice in any kind of healthcare simulation, and shared her ideas about VR's place in the spectrum of simulation methodologies.

Key Quotes from Christine Vogel: 

"The first time I put on the headset, I was absolutely amazed by how immersed I felt. And so, you really feel like you're in the room, you can see your patient and it's just very realistic and you can hear them with great, you know, audio and just authentic, dialogs and then tactile as well when you pick up the handset."

"Simulation is a technique, not a technology. And we need to make sure that we're using the best technology and the best, modality for the learning experience we want to cover."

"My view is that VR simulation complements and scales simulation and programs. So whether those are established simulation programs or new simulation programs, I think it's another tool in the toolbox that educators have to provide a very standardized and effective simulation experience for learners."
