Common Themes…..
![Page 19: Virtual worlds for chiropractic education feasible or foolish](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b5b97b4c905e9388b5071/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Real time chat valuable
“…I could hear his voice and he responded to questions in a way that was not just a script”
Gained insight regarding the challenges in taking a history from a geriatric patient, “They tend to jump around…they also have a lot of other problems besides the primary complaint they are seeing you for.”

Challenges….
Primary Problem: Technical issues Software is free but must be downloaded Hardware requirements High-speed internet IT support SOUND!!! University firewalls **Significant time investment by
participants to learn how to navigate and interact within world

Challenges….
“Not being able to see the person, inspecting them, watching for visual cues”
Would rather interact with a patient in the real world.
These students had difficulty suspending disbelief enough to truly see the patient behind the avatar, and were frustrated by the inability to communicate through body language

Challenges….
The nature of chiropractic itself…
