Overview

Literature review demonstrates enhanced spatial understanding and student engagement in medical anatomy education, suggesting virtual reality serves best as a complement to cadaveric dissection.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the impact of virtual reality technologies on medical anatomy education, specifically assessing spatial comprehension, student engagement, knowledge retention, and clinical application.
  • Conducted a literature-based analytical review assessing published evidence on immersive and non-immersive virtual reality systems used in medical anatomy curricula.
  • Virtual reality enhances 3D visualization of complex anatomical relationships, encourages active learner participation, and facilitates self-directed, repeatable study sessions.
  • Virtual tools bridge basic anatomical concepts with clinical practice, though optimal efficacy depends on pedagogical alignment, technical fidelity, and instructor guidance rather than replacing cadaveric dissection.
