Abstract:
The term “Metaverse” is often applied to gaming; however, it will have real implications on training doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals. University of Cambridge and Cambridge University Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust are investing in extended reality, one of the staples of the Metaverse where patient holograms can be used for simulation training. In this webinar, Dr. Jonathan Martin of Cambridge University Health Partners will share how Cambridge is implementing this new technology into its educational programs while sharing best practices that you can use yourself in your simulation training. You will learn the relative value of holographic technology versus other traditional forms of simulation, as well as some of the unique characteristics of “Mediverse” training that analog capabilities cannot mimic. For example, you can have distributed simulations with participants in different physical locations seeing the same thing, at the same time enabling them to practice together when thousands of miles away from each other and in the comforts of their own home.
Learning Objectives:
- Compare extended reality training to traditional training methods.
- Determine how to implement extended reality training.
- See how Cambridge University Hospitals is investing in extended reality
