Incorporating Virtual Reality (VR) in dental education could enhance soft skills among students by providing an immersive platform to practice patient skills, communication, empathy and decision-making. This approach allows for simulating diverse patient scenarios critical for effective patient management. The seminar will cover integrating experiential activities with technology, reviewing different technology applications relevant to the dental curriculum and evaluating alternative content delivery methods. Participants will also engage in group activities to identify scholarly projects adaptable to virtual reality environments. We will use design thinking maps to visualize problems, solutions, and innovative VR strategies to plan implementation effectively.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participants will be able to understand different virtual reality simulations as content delivery platforms in dental education.
  • Upon completion, participants will describe how to design and plan virtual reality simulation to supplement traditional teaching.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to explain how immersive activities can enhance soft and clinical skills in dental education.
