How to Use MediSim VR's Skill Training in Virtual Environment (STRIV) as a Medical and Nursing Student

Practicing IV insertion virtually before ward rounds made me confident and ready when performing on real patients.

Preparing Medical Students for the Medical Practice

The transition from medical theory to clinical practice represents one of the most challenging phases in medical education, where students often find themselves unprepared for real-world patient interactions despite years of textbook learning. MediSim VR's Skill Training in Virtual Reality (STRIV) platform is helps during this critical juncture by providing medical students with immersive, protocol-based clinical skill training that aligns with global medical education standards. STRIV's innovative dual-mode approach features Guided Mode for structured, step-by-step learning and Evaluation Mode for rigorous competency testing, creating a comprehensive virtual environment where students can master core clinical skills safely before encountering real patients. The platform's extensive library covers diverse healthcare procedures from Capillary Blood Glucose testing to Catheterisation, while its branched outcome system enhances decision-making abilities and fosters critical thinking essential for real-world medical situations.

Getting Started: Your Journey with STRIV

Initiating your training on STRIV is seamless. Students simply access the VR lab, log into their personalized accounts, and select modules tailored to their learning objectives. Guided Mode functions as a virtual mentor, offering stepwise instruction ideal for novices building foundational competencies. As proficiency grows, Evaluation Mode challenges students to independently perform procedures under simulated pressure, delivering immediate feedback and real-time performance metrics.

Cutting-edge 3D visualization and interactive simulations replicate authentic clinical environments, allowing repetitive, pressure-free practice that builds muscle memory and clinical confidence. Behind the scenes, STRIV’s AI-driven analytics meticulously track progress, spotlight skill gaps, and customize learning paths, making medical training into a highly personalized, data-driven experience.

Student Success Stories: Real Experiences Across MBBS Years

Across MBBS years, STRIV has transformed clinical readiness. A second-year MBBS student from St. Peters Medical College shares, “STRIV helped me conquer my anxiety about patient interactions.” Students consistently praise the Evaluation Mode as an invaluable preparation tool for OSCEs. The best practice? Begin with Guided Mode for new skills, alternate between modes to build proficiency, and leverage analytics for targeted improvements.

Fourth-year students, gearing up for clinical postings, particularly value STRIV’s hands-on preparation. One reflected, “Practicing IV insertion virtually before ward rounds made me confident and ready when performing on real patients.” These testimonials highlight how STRIV reduces the fear factor and accelerates clinical competence.

Proven Impact

The effectiveness of STRIV is demonstrated through impressive outcomes, with 92% of students preferring VR training methods over traditional approaches, over 100,000 students completing training globally, and more than 10,000 hours of simulation logged worldwide. The platform enhances traditional medical education by providing safe, repeatable practice opportunities that build competence before real-world application. Students benefit most when integrating STRIV sessions with lecture-based learning and supervised patient interactions. Think of STRIV as your personal clinical skills library: drop into your institution’s VR lab anytime, practice as much as you need, refresh fundamentals, prep for exams, or prime yourself before clinical postings. The more you use it, the more confident and engaged you become—learning isn’t just effective; it’s enjoyable.
