Advancing Interactive Medical Education of Anatomy Via the Metaverse Virtual 3D Printing Platform

The study aims to recruit 100 National Taiwan University 5th grade medical students who have completed a comprehensive basic anatomy course and are just entering surgical clinical rotations. Through a randomized controlled trial, educational training will be designed, and pre- and post-tests will be conducted to compare the effectiveness of learning advanced anatomy using the "Metaverse Virtual 3D Printing System" in virtual reality, versus the traditional method of "using flat diagrams to correlate with computed tomography scans." The study will assess the impact on learning outcomes, motivation, and learning experience in advanced anatomy education. We anticipate a well-structured learning model that bridges the gap between foundational and clinical medical courses.
