Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Does self-guided VR simulation work as well as facilitator-guided VR simulation in teaching medical students how to manage critically ill children?
* How do medical students experience the ease of use, workload, reflection on learning, and motivation in each training method?
* How many students experience cybersickness? To answer these questions, researchers will compare the two training methods to evaluate if self-guided VR simulation is an effective way to teach medical students how to manage critically ill children.
Participants will:
* Work through three VR cases to practice managing critically ill children in a safe environment.
* Be tested before and after the VR simulation to assess changes in their skills managing critically ill children.
* Complete surveys about their experience of the VR simulation, the training sessions, and any cybersickness symptoms they might have.
