Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether self-guided and facilitator-guided virtual reality (VR) simulations are equally effective in helping medical students learn how to manage and treat critically ill children. The study will also investigate how medical students feel about the two training methods and examine how many experience cybersickness. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does self-guided VR simulation work as well as facilitator-guided VR simulation in teaching medical students how to manage critically ill children?
* How do medical students experience the ease of use, workload, reflection on learning, and motivation in each training method?
* How many students experience cybersickness? To answer these questions, researchers will compare the two training methods to evaluate if self-guided VR simulation is an effective way to teach medical students how to manage critically ill children.

Participants will:

* Work through three VR cases to practice managing critically ill children in a safe environment.
* Be tested before and after the VR simulation to assess changes in their skills managing critically ill children.
* Complete surveys about their experience of the VR simulation, the training sessions, and any cybersickness symptoms they might have.
