“…This immersive learning modality has been adopted in various fields such as neurosurgery, echocardiography, and orthopedics for resident training (O'Sullivan et al, 2021;Bernardo, 2017;Hall and Walmsley, 2022). VR's expansion into graduate medical education has showcased it as superior or equal to traditional teaching modalities (Khatkar et al, 2022). Furthermore, students and trainees have expressed favorable impressions of this technology when compared to conventional methods (Kolla et al, 2020;Uruthiralingam and Rea, 2020;Hall and Walmsley, 2022;Khatkar et al, 2022).…”

Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to be used as a transformative tool in medical education - offering both interactive models and clinical simulations to enhance training. VR presents a space and cost-effective solution for remote education, combined with prospects of higher efficiency and interactivity than traditional training. This study aimed to explore the potential application and perception of VR in a focus group of medical students as an innovative tool for learning anatomy. Sixteen students underwent a structured VR lesson plan exploring concepts in anatomy. Pre- and post-surveys assessed participants’ exposure to VR, previous exposure to and preparedness in anatomy training, and attitudes toward VR. Results revealed that despite limited prior exposure to VR, participants found the technology both easy to navigate and comfortable to use. Notably, over 90% of students indicated that VR would enhance their anatomy learning experience and help them learn a topic better than traditional models. Furthermore, 94% of participants agreed that this learning modality should be offered to medical students, and if given access to this technology, most would utilize it for learning anatomy and potentially for other subjects as well. This study emphasizes VR’s potential to enhance medical education, particularly in anatomy instruction. VR’s adaptability, user-friendly interface, and positive student perceptions highlight its viability as a supplemental tool. Future research should explore specific anatomy applications, long-term impacts on knowledge retention, and the evolving role of VR in medical education.

Welcome to September 2022 issue of Scottish Medical Journal. The issue highlights advancements in medical education and research-a basic ambitions of journal since its inception more than 100 years back. Hassan et al. 1 bring in new knowledge on methods of teaching in neuroanatomy. Khatkar and colleagues 2 discuss virtual reality simulation questionnaire survey and reminds us importance of snap-shot assessment. Domenic G et al. 3 report relationship of body composition and BMI with colorectal cancer. In another common cancer in young men, Alifrangis et al. 4 provide a glimpse of current practise perspective of testicular cancer (Seminoma). Clinicians are exposed to risk of radiation injuries and in particularly those working in orthopaedics surgery. Snowden et al. 5 provide an assessment of knowledge amongst orthopaedic surgeons about radiation safety. Li et al. 6 in a meta-analysis describe an interesting association of polycystic ovarian syndrome with various cancers. Finally, Yitgin et al. 7 share their knowledge about optimal duration of surgical procedure for renal stones. They report a lower postoperative complications rate following retrograde intrarenal surgery in patients where procedural time is more than 60 min. There are several implications of these findings: First, it will improve delivery of information to urological surgeons so that careful planning is considered in reducing complications; second, it will help in better patient counselling and may be discuss alternate therapeutic approaches. Collins TC et al. 8 in a previous study reported intraoperative blood transfusion, operative time, return to the operating room, and the number of complications as strong predictors of length of stay in hospital for patients following surgery. These events are inter-related and hence quality assurance of intra-operative events should be focus of quality assurance in the future.I trust the issue will be an enjoyable reading and generate discussion amongst colleagues and the future generations.
