Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the virtual reality based neurologic examination teaching tool(VRNET) for medical students. VRNET is a new teaching tool for neurologic examinations by offering different neurologic signs of the face, with which medical students can experience more realistic patients.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• 4th grade medical students of emergency medicine clerkship who agree with participation on this study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Disagree with participation on this study.
• Who are absent the last day of clerkship.

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Medical Students

Intervention

Other:
• Standard patients with VRNET
In group of standard patients with VRNET, the medical students examine the standard patient of neurologic deficits. When they examine, they get some information of neurologic signs via the VRNET which presents neurologic deficits directly by alternating facial expressions. The students should interpret that signs to have a diagnosis.
• standard patients
In group of standard patients, those neurological deficits are presented only by words or pictures which are not realistic.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Neurologic physical exam(NPE) score	NPE score is consist of 6 neurologic examination parts; cranial nerve, motor, sensory, cerebellar function, gait. Each part has 1 points, so NPE score ranges from 0 to 6. NPE score of students is evaluated by neurologist viewing video clips which recorded during the last day of 2 weeks clerkship rotation.	after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.
Secondary	Satisfaction of students for VRNET	Satisfaction of VRNET are evaluated by students' answer to the question below with Likert scale (0 to 5) after completion examination of standard patient.; "I am satisfied with VRNET for neurologic examination training. 0 (not at all)---1----2----3-----4-----5 (very helpful)"	after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.
Secondary	Reality of VRNET by students	Reality of VRNET are evaluated by students' answer to the question below with Likert scale (0 to 5) after completion examination of standard patient.; "VRNET is very realistic. 0 (not at all)---1----2----3-----4-----5 (very realistic)"	after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.
Secondary	Evaluation of students by standardized patients	Evaluation of students by standard patients is also using Likert scale (0 to 5) based on the pre-made check lists.; "How do you feel as a standard patient that the student did good job?" 0 (not at all)---1----2----3-----4-----5 (very competent)	after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.
