Brief 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.

Conditions

Medical Students

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• 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 Outcomes (3)

• Satisfaction of students for VRNET

  after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.

• Reality of VRNET by students

  after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.

• Evaluation of students by standardized patients

  after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.

Study Arms (2)

standardized patients with VRNET

EXPERIMENTAL

The medical students examine the standardized patients who have neurological deficits which presented by VRNET.

Other: Standard patients with VRNET

standardized patients

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The medical students examine the standardized patients who have neurological deficits which presented by words or pictures.

Other: standard patients

Interventions

Standard patients with VRNET OTHER

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 OTHER

In group of standard patients, those neurological deficits are presented only by words or pictures which are not realistic.
