RESULTS: Findings from the survey revealed that students perceived significant advantages in using virtual reality to grasp complex medical concepts and hone clinical skills. They appreciated the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in practice, the availability of high-quality content across various disciplines, and the safe learning conditions provided. CONCLUSION: Teachers recognized virtual reality as a valuable educational tool but highlighted some challenges, including insufficient training and limited access to equipment. Addressing these obstacles is crucial for the successful integration of virtual reality into training programs, thereby unlocking its full potential and enhancing educational outcomes.
