The Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph has announced that it is now offering its veterinary students the opportunity to use a virtual reality (VR) simulation tool to learn dog and cow anatomy this semester. Students can use OVC’s two VR headsets to get a virtual, close-up look at the organs and tissues inside an animal’s body. The tool will reduce dependency upon preserved specimens during teaching and “gamify” the learning material for students. “As a university, we are in the profession of training the next generation,” said OVC Professor Dr Pavneesh Madan. “I think virtual reality becomes a very powerful tool from a futuristic point of view.” UoGuelph believes that this is the first time VR has been used to teach anatomy at a Canadian veterinary college.
