The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause an unprecedented level of disruption across
every part of the globe. This disruption detrimentally affects the field of medical education;
in particular, anatomical, surgical and clinical training, all which require hands-on experience.
On the other hand, the pandemic not only brings new challenges in medical education but
also opportunities for testing the validity of our old education paradigms and for developing
the ability to embrace a rapid pace of change in better integrating new technologies in the
medical curriculum. We contend that the future of medical education lies in the successful
use of VR and similar technologies in medical education. Even though this does not mean it
can fully replace hands-on training, at present it seems to be the best way possible to support modern medical education in times of limited physical interaction, such as pandemics.
However, future studies with robust, comprehensive and culture specific designs are clearly
necessary in order to determine the value and feasibility of this approach.
