About this study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the virtual reality based neurologic examination teaching tool(VRNET) for medical students. VRNET is a new teaching tool for neurologic examinations by offering different neurologic signs of the face, with which medical students can experience more realistic patients.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Standard patients with VRNETOther
In group of standard patients with VRNET, the medical students examine the standard patient of neurologic deficits. When they examine, they get some information of neurologic signs via the VRNET which presents neurologic deficits directly by alternating facial expressions. The students should interpret that signs to have a diagnosis.
standard patientsOther
In group of standard patients, those neurological deficits are presented only by words or pictures which are not realistic.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| standardized patients with VRNET | Experimental | The medical students examine the standardized patients who have neurological deficits which presented by VRNET. Receives: Other: Standard patients with VRNET |
| standardized patients | Placebo comparator | The medical students examine the standardized patients who have neurological deficits which presented by words or pictures. Receives: Other: standard patients |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Neurologic physical exam(NPE) score
NPE score is consist of 6 neurologic examination parts; cranial nerve, motor, sensory, cerebellar function, gait. Each part has 1 points, so NPE score ranges from 0 to 6. NPE score of students is evaluated by neurologist viewing video clips which recorded during the last day of 2 weeks clerkship rotation.
Measured: after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.
Secondary outcomes (3)
Satisfaction of students for VRNET
Satisfaction of VRNET are evaluated by students' answer to the question below with Likert scale (0 to 5) after completion examination of standard patient.
"I am satisfied with VRNET for neurologic examination training. 0 (not at all)---1----2----3-----4-----5 (very helpful)"
Measured: after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.
Reality of VRNET by students
Reality of VRNET are evaluated by students' answer to the question below with Likert scale (0 to 5) after completion examination of standard patient.
"VRNET is very realistic. 0 (not at all)---1----2----3-----4-----5 (very realistic)"
Measured: after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.
Evaluation of students by standardized patients
Evaluation of students by standard patients is also using Likert scale (0 to 5) based on the pre-made check lists.
"How do you feel as a standard patient that the student did good job?" 0 (not at all)---1----2----3-----4-----5 (very competent)
Measured: after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.

NPE score of students is evaluated by neurologist viewing video clips which recorded during the last day of 2 weeks clerkship rotation.
3 secondary outcomes
Satisfaction of students for VRNET
Time frame: after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.
Reality of VRNET by students
Time frame: after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.
Evaluation of students by standardized patients
Time frame: after 2 weeks clinical clerkship rotation.
