Medical Campus Koblenz: Future of training with VR technology!
On February 12, 2025, the Koblenz medical campus welcomed its first students in the newly designed lecture hall building of the Bundeswehr Central Hospital (BWZKRHS) Koblenz. The introductory event, directed by senior physician Dr. Emanuel Vits, the prelude to an innovative training approach, which relies on a practical teaching. The students were introduced into a teaching concept that enables early involvement in clinical work and thus responds to the needs of modern healthcare.
The positive feedback from the students for intensive care by experienced specialists should be particularly noted. This interdisciplinary exchange is considered valuable, since the participating insights into different fields such as emergency medicine, radiology, surgery, intensive care medicine and internal medicine. The use of modern technologies, including virtual reality glasses to simulate emergency scenarios, is an innovative component of the courses.innovations in medical training
Another exciting aspect of the new curriculum is the introduction of robot-assisted surgery, which enables students to have practical and future-oriented experiences. In order to ensure individual funding, the training is carried out in small groups, which also allows targeted care for medical students. Despite initial organizational challenges, the feedback shows a positive trend, especially with regard to the quick feedback from the teaching staff.
senior doctor Prof. Dr. Robert Schwab emphasized the progress and challenges with regard to health care in the northern Rhineland-Palatinate. Cooperation with civilian and military employees in the BWZKRHS was identified as a cornerstone of the medical campus to set new standards in medical training. The overarching goal is to optimally link the theoretical knowledge of the students with practical experience.
Virtual reality in healthcare
The integration of virtual reality technologies plays a crucial role in modern medical training. Studies show the efficiency of learning in VR environments. Researchers predict that over 40 million new healthcare specialists will be needed by 2030. Traditional training models are often not enough to cover this future needs.
The company Oramavr has developed specific VR content in cooperation with university clinics to revolutionize medical training. Pilot studies show that training in virtual environments significantly improve both commitment and learning performance. For example, a study showed that surgeons with VR lessons had 8% better skills, while other reports reported a 29% reduced training period.
The advantages of VR technology also extend to cost reductions and time-efficient further and further education. The aim of these innovative approaches is to offer medical students a realistic learning environment that enables them to minimize errors in a secure framework. The combination of practice -oriented training and modern technologies such as VR makes the Koblenz medical campus a promising concept for the medical training of the future.
