    This article discusses how Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine started using virtual reality technology to help veterinary students learn anatomy without using real animals. The program began with just a dog model but has expanded to include a cow model as well. 57% of students wished to continue using virtual reality and 83% felt they could apply what they learned to real animals. The program has been made freely available online. However, many schools lack the technology needed to implement virtual reality learning for classes.

    Assessment:

    This article outlines the benefits of usingVirtual Reality to help veterinary students better

    learn and understand anatomy without the need of real animals. In 2016 the Virginia- Maryland

    College of Veterinary Medicine invested in Virtual Reality technology for their students. The

    students were only able to at first use a dog model to further their learning. As the program has

    been developing over the past few years, more models have been developed for student use. This

    program is very useful for first year veterinary students as they can experience anatomy first

    hand without the risks of allowing young students to perform surgeries. As more and more

    universities are moving away from teaching animal anatomy with real animals, these simulations

    are largely more beneficial than simply looking at phones of the animals. F;kjadf; a jf;a

    The study shows that it was overall very effective. 57% of students wished to continue

    using virtual reality to learn. Furthermore 83% of students stated they could transfer the

    information from virtual reality directly to real animals. Overall the study was seen as a success

    so the University even offered the program to others to use for free. Anyone with a virtual reality

    headset can download and use the program to learn more. However, not very many universities

    and students have the technology necessary to run this program especially to use for a specific

    class. Virginia- Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine also encourages those with a
    background in virtual reality development and veterinary medicine to contribute in any way.

    Currently there are two different animal models for students to learn off of: the dog model and

    the cow model. Both models also include basics on the skeletal system and some of the organ

    systems.

    I hope that this program will be incorporated into the university program I choose for my

    undergraduate and veterinary degree as I believe it can be very helpful. The main university that

    came up with this program was on my list to look into and now that I know about this, the

    university is more appealing. This article will not be included in my original work however I

    found the topic very interesting, so therefore I decided to research this a bit more.

    Questions: Will this program be used at more universities or will it only remain at Virginia-

    Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine? How are the simulations created?
