Step into a new reality in training health professionals with RadyVerse
On Friday, March 15, the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences will showcase how it will be employing virtual reality (VR) and other cutting-edge technologies to educate and train the next generation of health-care professionals. Faculty, staff and learners from across UM are invited to experience first-hand various VR and other scenarios at stations set up in Brodie Centre atrium, 727 McDermot Avenue, from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm at the RadyVerse launch event.
The faculty’s College of Nursing has been using VR in its bachelor of nursing program since Fall 2022. The RadyVerse will expand this technology across the faculty’s colleges of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and rehabilitation sciences.
Dr. Nicole Harder, associate dean, undergraduate programs and professor in the College of Nursing, and Mindermar Professor in Human Simulation, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, described the launch event as a “technology fair” that will give faculty, staff and students the opportunity to participate in interactive demonstrations.
