The aim of the course is to introduce students to the detailed possibilities of using this technology in clinical practice, but also to outline the limitations and disadvantages associated with its use. The course will primarily target psychiatric and neurological disorders, but will also outline applications in other medical disciplines. The course includes practical demonstrations of VR tools using VR headsets. The course also includes the acquisition of basic skills for the use of VR tools in the care of psychiatric patients and self-experience with selected types of diagnostic or therapeutic approaches.
