Clinical Simulation
Rectal and Prostate Exam
About This Course
What you'll experience
Fifty-six-year-old Marcus Walker is visiting his doctor for a routine health check-up. As part of this procedure, he will also undergo a rectal and prostate exam. This VR simulation is designed to help practitioners practice rectal and prostate examination in a virtual environment with a virtual patient. With both training and assessment modes, learners can perform the procedure and assess themselves on their performance.
Learning Objectives
- Appropriately positioning the patient for the procedure
- Inspecting the anus and rectum for abnormalities or lesions
- Assessing the prostate and rectal walls for nodules, masses, or tenderness

Core Skill
Performing Rectal and Prostate Exam
As a part of the Rectal and Prostate Exam, the learner will begin by lubricating their index finger and visually examining the coccyx and anus, making note of abnormalities, if any. They will then proceed to examine the anterior rectal wall and prostate, carefully palpating the full width of the gland for any irregularities. The examination also includes a thorough assessment of the rectal circumference to identify potential abnormalities.
All necessary affordances are provided to complete the procedure with efficiency.
