Abstract

This study involves interprofessional students experiencing an immersive Virtual Reality 360-degrees simulation pertaining to response of an opioid overdose. This active learning environment permits simulation of assessment/management including obtaining additional assistance and NARCAN administration. Virtual reality is a teaching strategy for improving student knowledge and perceptions related to opioid management.
