Nursing Training Simulation
A VR Nursing Training Sim
A partnership between Shenandoah University and the Arab American University of Palestine (AAUP), this project’s objective is to advance the use of innovative technologies in medical training and education. Supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of State, the Nursing Simulation project allows the two institutions to leverage virtual reality as a supplemental tool to advance health care and nursing education.
In this project, students from Shenandoah University’s VR Design program worked on developing a VR nursing platform with various learning modules for the fundamentals of nursing curriculum.
