Abstract
Introduction: This study presents a Virtual Reality (VR) pilot for second-year medical students on the topic of psychosis.
Methods: 14 students participated. The VR session included an introductory lecture and reflective discussion with an experience consultant present.
Results: The students rated learning outcomes, understanding of psychosis, and overall satisfaction highly. There were minimal technical issues and a minority reported discomfort.
Discussion/conclusion: VR can be an effective supplementary tool for medical education, enhancing students' understanding of complex conditions.
