Event Title
Dent-ALS: Dentistry’s Virtual Reality Serious Gaming Solution For Advanced Life Support Training
School or College
Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry
Department
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Location
William Knox Holt Memorial Library and Learning Center
Description
THE GOAL: To develop a novel virtual reality (VR),interactive dental clinical environment wherein learners can engage with various clinical scenarios involving patient avatars, dental personnel and medical equipment consistent with a real-world dental office.
THE PURPOSE: To utilize this VR environment for training dental learners to develop skills for recognizing a patient requiring urgent or emergent care and initiating evaluation and management in dental setting, a requisite skill for all dentists in clinical practice.
THE POTENTIAL: A VR based learning environment allows learners to access these resources from remote locations, providing a cost effective and easily distributed simulation training solution. We intend to research this further and scientifically validate its effectivity.
