Improving Academic Performance in Medical Students Using Immersive Virtual Patient Simulation: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objectives: To determine whether immersive virtual patient simulation (IVPS) on the MedicActiv platform is influential in improving student academic performance in module validation tests.

Design: In this prospective randomized controlled study a comparison was made between IVPS training combined with regular faculty courses versus courses alone. The primary endpoint was module validation grades.
