Enhance students’ skill retention
Ensuring long-term success for students can be challenging due to several factors, including limited lab access, time constraints, and difficulties in coordinating instructor supervision. VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator strengthens students’ ability to retain and apply key skills by offering unlimited hands-on practice with 40+ standard projections. The X-Ray Simulator improves student engagement and skill retention, while programs see higher pass rates, and better preparation for clinical success.
Radiography students might struggle with skill retention due to limited opportunities for repetition and practical application, since simulation lab training can’t offer students the chance to revisit techniques as frequently as needed. This can hinder students’ ability to internalize techniques and apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. As a result, students may face difficulty transferring theoretical knowledge into practical competence.
This is where VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator offers a solution for providing better opportunities for skill retention by offering an immersive, self-paced learning environment.
VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator is a virtual energized X-ray lab that recreates the experience of working in a real-world X-ray lab. Access the simulation through two modalities: Virtual Reality (VR), that provides a fully immersive environment using goggles for visuals and controllers for hand interaction, and Desktop, an accessible format available on student or institution computers.
VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator creates a safe and flexible learning environment. By providing students with the opportunity to experiment freely in a risk-free environment, VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator fosters deeper engagement, promoting long-term skill retention.
Students can practice performing different standard projections in an interactive environment. This helps them develop essential decision-making skills, and better preparing them for the complexity of clinical rotations.
With accessible practice opportunities, students can practice at their own convenience in their own time, creating additional opportunities for internalizing skills by engaging in unlimited hands-on practice.
VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator aims to support the education of skilled radiographers of the future with an innovative approach through our two modalities: VR and Desktop.
Both modalities empower students to go beyond textbooks by practicing skills such as tube positioning, patient alignment, and selecting the appropriate technique in a safe and radiation-free environment.
Institutions using VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator to enhance students’ skill retention also experience improvements in key areas such as student engagement and pass rates. By offering opportunities for more hands-on practice in a virtual environment, students are better prepared for clinical rotations, which positively impacts their confidence levels. As a result, students are more likely to succeed in their programs, leading to the development of highly skilled radiologic technologists of the future.
Discover how VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator can transform your radiography program and enhance student engagement like never before.
