Описание: 📍 Onsite from Meta Reality Labs HQ in Burlingame, CA

The healthcare workforce is in crisis, and VR technology is stepping up to bridge the gap.

In this panel discussion at Meta Healthcare & Innovation Day '25, leaders from VRpatients and NightinGale Education Group discuss how Virtual Reality (VR) is revolutionizing nursing education, upskilling healthcare professionals, and addressing the critical shortage of nurses.

Discover how VR-based medical training is providing hands-on, immersive learning experiences that better prepare students for real-world patient care—anytime, anywhere.

🔹 Why is there a global shortage of healthcare workers?
🔹 How can VR simulations replace traditional clinical training?
🔹 What role does Meta Quest 3 play in the future of healthcare education?

📌 Key Takeaways:
✅ The U.S. spends $4.9 trillion on healthcare yet faces worse outcomes than other nations
✅ A projected shortage of 11 million healthcare workers by 2030, with 4.5 million nurses
✅ 50% of new nurses leave their first job within two years
✅ 1 million nurses are expected to retire in the US by 2023
✅ VR enhances critical thinking, problem-solving, and clinical skills
✅ The future of medical education must embrace immersive learning
