Marci Levine & Elizabeth McAlpin: Using VR to teach clinical skills to 21st century dental students

About the event
In this forward-thinking session, Dr. Marci Levine and Dr. Elizabeth McAlpin explore how virtual reality (VR) is transforming dental education and reshaping the way clinical skills are taught to modern learners. The presentation highlights the integration of immersive VR technology into preclinical and clinical training, offering students realistic, interactive simulations that enhance psychomotor development, spatial awareness, and procedural confidence. The speakers discuss curriculum design, implementation strategies, assessment metrics, and student engagement outcomes, while addressing challenges such as cost, accessibility, and faculty training. Through practical examples and educational research insights, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how VR can complement traditional teaching methods, bridge the gap between simulation and patient care, and prepare 21st century dental students for evolving clinical environments.
