This chapter explores the utilization of virtual reality (VR) technology for procedural skill training in medical education. Procedural skill training is a key component of medical education. However, while effective, traditional training methods often lack patient safety in clinical environments, offer insufficient practicum exposure, and lack engagement in non-patient learning environments. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of VR in improving ECG competency among medical students. Thirty second-year medical students underwent VR training on ECG performance, with knowledge and skill acquisition assessed pre- and post-training. Overall, the students demonstrated significant improvement in procedural knowledge and skills for ECG post-training. VR was rated highly for usability, spatial presence, and realism, and participants reported feeling high levels of satisfaction. Thematic analyses revealed four themes: experience with VR, learning process, engagement and motivation, and application in the real world. Participants found VR engaging and fun, experienced a transition from initial difficulty ...
