Summary:

A few studies have explored factors which influence patient-provider communication in a controlled setting. However, more information is needed about how different factors affect communication so that it can be improved.

Third- and fourth-year medical students may be eligible for this study. Participants are recruited from the Washington, D.C. area.

At the research center, participants will use a virtual reality headset to view a virtual clinic environment and interact with a virtual patient.

After interacting with the virtual patient, participants will complete a questionnaire about their experience within the virtual clinic and other research-related information.

The total time for the study visit is 60 minutes.

Eligibility:

Third- and fourth-year medical students at least 18 years of age. You may not take part in the study if you have a history of seizures and/or are pregnant.

Eligibility

INCLUSION CRITERIA:

Healthy adult volunteers who are third or fourth-year medical students. Both men and women over age 18 will be eligible for this study (though in practice the age range is likely to naturally be constrained by the typical age of medical students).

EXCLUSION CRITERIA: 1) persons with seizure or vestibular disorders; 2) women with known pregnancy; 3) persons who are highly prone to motion sickness; 4) those with low, uncorrected vision or hearing; 5) all current and past employees and contractors of

NHGRI; and 6) persons who have received information about the study purpose or procedure from a past participant.
