Article Abstract
Technology-enhanced simulations such as virtual reality and computer-based experiences allow students to improve their understanding of patient perspectives and increase empathy for patients. These technologies can be daunting to nursing faculty without robust technology and video development resources. The purpose of this project was to share a guide for creating and implementing a patient-centered immersive virtual reality scenario within a nursing program. The research team developed, filmed, and produced a cost-effective virtual reality simulation scenario for use with smartphones and inexpensive virtual reality headsets, which could be widely disseminated for students to watch in class or online. The virtual reality simulation allowed an immersive first-person view and was well received by both faculty and students. The virtual reality scenario was implemented with ease in classroom, virtual, and laboratory settings. These virtual reality simulations work in the live setting or remotely, and synchronously or asynchronously with minimal equipment, which reduces barriers to access.

Introduction: Distraction methods such as virtual reality and cold vibration devices (Buzzy) are recommended during vascular access. Few studies focused on distraction during intramuscular injection.
Methods: This study evaluated the effect of distraction methods on procedure-related pain, fear, and anxiety during the intramuscular injection in children aged 5 to 12 years in the pediatric emergency department.

Background: Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are safe and effective long-acting reversible contraceptive therapies that are also used as minimally invasive treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, and early-stage endometrial cancer. Despite many advantages, IUDs are underused predominantly due to patient discomfort. Although many techniques have been explored previously in the literature, there is currently little consensus on effective analgesic strategies.

Introduction: Modern orthopaedic residency training increasingly integrates knowledge, skills, and behavior (KSB), in line with updated American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) guidelines. Developments in simulation technology-including high-fidelity simulators, virtual reality, and data-driven assessment tools-enable programs to target both technical and non-technical competencies. This paper examines how innovations in simulation, curriculum design, and performance assessment are shaping the future of orthopaedic education.

Simulation-based training is transforming the education of vascular surgeons in the management of aortic aneurysms (AAs), addressing limitations in traditional apprenticeship models amid declining open surgical volumes and increasing reliance on complex endovascular techniques. This review explores the current landscape of simulation technologies, including computational modeling, fluid-structure interaction, patient-specific 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and robotic platforms. These tools enable high-fidelity, anatomically accurate, and physiologically realistic training environments.

The primary aim of the study was to see how the number of clinical ERCPs performed during a 1-year period influenced VR-ERCP performance. A secondary aim was to compare differences in salivary stress marker levels, between the first and final simulator attempts.
