Use of Virtual Reality to Teach Diagnostic Reasoning
Three faculty members who teach in the nurse practitioner program at The Ohio State University College of Nursing describe an innovative approach to teaching diagnostic reasoning using virtual reality (VR). Learn how they create realistic simulations that allow nursing students to practice the process of diagnostic reasoning, delegate tasks, make clinical decisions, and learn from mistakes. Courtney Kresge, Stephanie Justice, and Carolyn McClerking explain how they use VR to assess competency and support classroom and clinical educational experiences.
