Abstract:
This article presents a study of the advantages of virtual technologies in health education, as well as an attempt to answer the following questions. How XR could improve the educational process by boosting the current ratio of students to lecturers while maintaining the same level of efficacy. How XR technologies could provide access to critical knowledge around the clock without interfering with the workflow of healthcare facilities and without exposing patients to any undue risk. The practical application of a 360° virtual world for a clinical laboratory, central laboratory for sterilization and a virtual operating room all in partnership between the Healthcare Department of Angel Kanchev University of Ruse, The Yatrus Foundation IT Specialists and University Multidisciplinary Hospital for Active Treatment Kanev, Ruse. The virtual reality allows the trainees to explore, to make mistakes and learn from them before ultimately applying the real procedure on a patient.
