Medical simulation is the use of virtual environments, mannequins, and digital models to replicate clinical scenarios for training, assessment, and procedure planning. Immersive and motion-tracked simulations let clinicians rehearse surgery and emergency response without risk to patients. It is a core application of metaverse and XR technologies within healthcare education and practice.
