New Additions to the Virtual Reality Studio

This summer, the Virtual Reality Studio and Health Sciences Library have added two new experiences to our collection!

Build your communication and interpersonal skills with Bodyswaps, where you can self-reflect through swapping perspectives and get personalized, AI-powered feedback.

In SimX, you can simulate complex patient encounters to improve clinical judgement and train critical competencies in scenarios designed by global medical experts.
