Virginia Tech students useVR technology to study anatomy

摘要

Virginia Tech's College of Veterinary Medicine had a problem. After a curriculum revision three years ago, students started taking anatomy classes alongside performing physical exams on real patients, making it difficult for them to connect what theywere learning in anatomy to those physical exams."Students were struggling to get a mental picture of the animal. All they knew were surgical views,which are upside down. They were all turning into contortionists just to try to get the right view," says Michael Nappier, DVM, DABVP, Fetch dvm360 speaker and assistant professor of community practice at Virginia Tech's Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences.
