“While we have a full simulation lab with mannequins, moving to virtual reality really gives a 360 view for students to be able to practice and gain confidence,” said Lynn Ortale, PhD, Maria College president.

If approved, federal funding would be used to purchase the hardware, software and other equipment needed for the virtual program. The program is expected to be approved by December, the report said.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
