Virtual Reality Program Implementation

You are the expert on your program's culture and curriculum. Our role is to be your partner in implementation. We are happy to work directly alongside your faculty, program coordinators, and residents to help design and implement the strategy that will resonate best at your center. This article serves as a playbook outlining proven approaches from leading institutions to ensure long-term success.

This article provides an overview of the four essential components of successful VR implementation. Each section links to a detailed article with practical steps, models, and examples.

  4. The Broader Learning Ecosystem

Part 1: Your Implementation Strategy

A strong foundation begins with choosing the right model for your program’s needs. PrecisionOS has identified three models that have proven successful across a range of institutions:

  • The Deep Curriculum Model: Weave VR directly into the core curriculum with clearly defined goals, outcomes, and expectations.

  • The Rotational Toolkit Model: Offer a flexible, high-value tool that aligns with subspecialty rotations and encourages self-paced learning.

  • The Skills Bootcamp Model: Integrate VR into intensive training blocks or simulation bootcamps for high-volume, high-quality practice.

Each model provides unique advantages and can be tailored to your program’s size, schedule, and objectives.

Part 2: Key Mechanisms for Long-Term Engagement

Once your program is underway, sustained engagement is essential. Effective programs combine data-driven feedback with clearly defined roles to maintain motivation and accountability.

  • Use VR analytics to track performance, populate resident portfolios, and demonstrate measurable progress.

  • Identify local champions — from program directors to faculty and resident advocates — who drive ongoing engagement.

  • Create a feedback loop where usage and improvement are regularly recognized and rewarded.
