BACKGROUND Behavioral health disorders have steadily increased and been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Though behavioral health disorders can be successfully mitigated with early implementation of evidence-based parent management strategies, education for pediatric residents on behavioral health anticipatory guidance has been limited to date with training challenges compounded by the physical distancing requirements of COVID-19. Virtual reality (VR) simulations provide an opportunity to train residents on this complex competency by allowing deliberate practice of necessary skills while adhering to current social distancing guidelines. OBJECTIVE This study explored the usability and utility of a VR-based behavioral health anticipatory guidance (BHAG) curriculum for pediatric residents. METHODS This mixed-methods study included fourteen postgraduate third-year pediatric residents who completed the BHAG VR curriculum. Residents completed the MEC Spatial Presence Questionnaire to assess immersion in the virtual environment. Semi-structured interviews were used to elucidate residents’ perspectives on the curriculum’s content and format. The interviews were analyzed using conventional content analysis. RESULTS Quantitatively, residents reported a high degree of immersion, spatial presence, and cognitive involvement. Qualitatively, two themes emerged from the data: 1) the curriculum expands behavioral health anticipatory guidance and motivational interviewing knowledge and skills and 2) VR technology is uniquely positioned to develop competence. CONCLUSIONS Pilot data indicates that VR may be an effective tool to teach pediatric residents behavioral health anticipatory guidance meeting a current gap in medical education training. This VR curriculum is particularly relevant in the context of COVID-19 given the increased behavioral health concerns of families. CLINICALTRIAL n/a

Background: The application of virtual and augmented reality technologies to orthopaedic surgery training and practice aims to increase the safety and accuracy of procedures and reducing complications and costs. The purpose of this systematic review is to summarise the present literature on this topic while providing a detailed analysis of current flaws and benefits. Methods: A comprehensive search on the PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL, and Embase database was conducted from inception to February 2021. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used to improve the reporting of the review. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) was used to assess the quality and potential bias of the included randomized and non-randomized control trials, respectively. Results: Virtual reality has been proven revolutionary for both resident training and preoperative planning. Thanks to augmented reality, orthopaedic surgeons could carry out procedures faster and more accurately, improving overall safety. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a promising technology with limitless potential, but, nowadays, its use in orthopaedic surgery is limited to preoperative diagnosis. Conclusions: Extended reality technologies have the potential to reform orthopaedic training and practice, providing an opportunity for unidirectional growth towards a patient-centred approach.
