Clinical Simulation
Mouth and Throat Assessment
About This Course
What you'll experience
Thirty-years-old Sophia Williams is visiting her family medicine doctor for a routine mouth and throat assessment. Her assessment will consist of an inspection of the oral cavity, the neck lymph nodes and thyroids. Using this VR simulation for Mouth and Throat Assessment, healthcare practitioners can practice their skills in a realistic environment with a virtual patient. With both training and assessment modes, learners can perform the procedure and assess themselves on their performance.
Learning Objectives
- Demonstrating standard technique of examining the mouth and throat
- Demonstrating clinically approved methods of palpating the head and neck lymph nodes

Core Skills Training
Core Skill
Performing Mouth and Throat Assessment
As a part of this Mouth and Throat Assessment module, the learner will begin by performing hand sanitization and confirming the identity of the patient. The patient will also be asked to confirm any known allergies, following which the learner will educate the patient on the procedure. As part of the assessment procedure, the learner will inspect the oral cavity, check for lesions, palpate the lymph nodes and palpate the thyroids to check for any abnormality. The learner will communicate the findings with the patient.
All necessary affordances are provided to complete the procedure with efficiency.

Training
With prompts, guidance and affordances learners are hand-held through the process to practice the procedure in a virtual environment with a virtual patient.
- Photorealistic virtual environment
- Physics-based interactions
- Detailed instructions
- Adequate affordances to assist in task completion
Measure progress
Assessment
Test acquired skills to perform the procedures from start to finish without prompts. An incorrect step will take the learner back to the start to start afresh.
- Live scoring
- Instant feedback
