Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Students improved their communication skill with repeated use of MPathic-VR. • Knowledge transferred from MPathic-VR to a clinically realistic OSCE scenario. • Attitudinal ratings were higher for MPathic-VR students than for CBL students. • Evaluation of students training experiences favored MPathic-VR over CBL. • MPathic-VR may offer an effective and engaging way to train communication skills.
