This article explores the integration of virtual reality (VR) in medical education, highlighting its transformative potential and benefits over traditional teaching methods. While VR enhances skills acquisition and patients interaction competencies, challenges such as high upfront costs, misconceptions, and unequal access remain. The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) is poised to further enrich VR learning experiences. A blended training model is suggested to balance hands-on practice with virtual simulations. However, effective implementation requires stakeholder engagement, more research, and established guidelines to ensure VR's scalability and fidelity across diverse medical training environments.
