About The Course:

Sophia Williams is 30 years old. She is visiting her family medicine doctor for a routine nose assessment. Her assessment will consist of an inspection of the nose, an assessment of the nasal airflow and the sinuses.

Using this VR simulation for Nose 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:
  • Using approved technique to perform a nose inspection
  • Assessing nasal airflow using clinically approved methods
  • Applying standard technique to examine and assess the sinuses
Reference:
  • National Institutes of Health. (2023). Nose examination: Guidelines for practitioners.

Core Skills Training

Performing Nose Assessment

As a part of this Nose 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, identify the symptoms that brought them to the healthcare center, following which the learner will educate the patient on the procedure. As part of the assessment procedure, the learner will inspect the external nares and, using an Otoscope, inspect the internal nasal mucosa, followed by a nasal airflow inspection. Finally, the sinuses, Frontal and Maxillary, will be inspected.
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 

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  
  • Adequate affordances for efficient performance  
  • Time tracking to monitor activity completion
