Prepare students for clinical rotations
Preparing students for clinical rotations can be challenging due to limited lab access, and the steep learning curve of mastering radiographic techniques. VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator bridges the gap between classroom learning and clinical practice by offering students unlimited hands-on practice with 40+ standard projections (as of version 1.6) before rotations. The X-Ray Simulator improves student engagement and skill retention, while programs see higher pass rates, and better preparation for clinical success.
When preparing for clinical rotations, students might struggle to apply theoretical knowledge into practice due to challenges such as limited access to energized simulation labs, lack of exposure to real-life scenarios, and the steep learning curve of mastering radiographic techniques. It’s difficult for educators to provide sufficient practice opportunities, which might leave students feeling underprepared and less confident in their competences before clinical rotations.
This is where VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator offers a safe, controlled environment where students can get essential hands-on practice before clinical rotations.
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.
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 and refine their skills until they feel confident, ensuring they are fully prepared for real-world challenges.
Self-paced learning ensures students can revisit difficult concepts and progress at their own comfort level, leading to a smoother transition from training to 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 prepare students for clinical rotations also experience improvements in key areas such as student engagement, skill retention 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 both their confidence levels and skill retention. 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.
