Additional Information

There is a current shortage of healthcare faculty in the United States. This problem was exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to be a major issue in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and nursing to name a few. With shortages of healthcare workers skyrocketing, there is added pressure to try to bring forward more qualified graduates to meet this need. Colleges must figure out how toadapt to reach this need and one such option is the integration of virtual reality (VR) technologies withincurriculums. VR has the potential to reach greater numbers of learners while also taking patient simulations to the next level.This podcast will discuss what VR is and what it can do for PT and OT education. The technology is already here, are you ready?

i had the expectation of learning about an intro to vr use in the clinical setting, not how it is used in education of students in an allied health program. unfortunately, i do not feel i have learned much about the application in pt care as a practicing clinician. however, this may be more helpful to clinical instructions who are student educators. i did gather some info about pricing and considerations for environment if used in clinical setting for which i am thankful and names of different head sets, but will certainly need additional continuing education to feel as though i understand the clinical application of vr at even an introductory level.

i really enjoyed the podcast. i feel like sometimes my attention span is one to two hours. i feel like i take more of that in versus a lengthy six hour course so i like that it's split up. i can also listen to the podcast because i do home health and segments.
