Abstract : In recent years, immersive virtual reality (IVR) has revolutionized health professions education, emerging as a transformative tool that enriches and elevates learning experiences. With its unparalleled ability to create deeply engaging and impactful educational encounters, IVR stands out from traditional computer-based VR due to its exceptional level of immersion and presence. To truly harness the incredible potential of IVR, it's crucial to blend pedagogical know-how with cutting-edge technological skills.

Despite its immense promise, the VR landscape can be daunting, with a maze of confusing and inconsistent terminology that often muddles the selection process for specific learning goals and competencies. As VR technology rapidly evolves, an ever-growing array of VR headsets and software options continually springs up, offering unprecedented opportunities to customize and optimize educational experiences. Embracing this dynamic innovation can unlock new dimensions in health professions training, making the journey to proficiency more engaging and effective than ever before.
This panel presentation will focus on the infrastructure need to implement IVR simulation into your simulation program. We will focus on the equipment needs, space requirements, software management and ongoing support.

Please include a short summary of your presentation that highlights why an attendee would want to participate in your session.: This panel discussion will focusing on sharing best practices we have used to implement Immersive Virtual Reality with a focus on infrastructure needs including the equipment needs, space requirements, software management and ongoing support.
