"Not only is VERT am amazing tool for radiation therapy student education, it has elevated our interprofessional learning experiences for other health profession students, changing the way they think about radiation. Clinically, it has transformed the way we share the practice of radiation therapy to our patients, their families and the community, alleviating some of the fear and unknown of radiation treatment."
The incorporation of VERT as a teaching tool is invaluable, as it provides an opportunity for QUT students to undertake practical classes to consolidate academic knowledge and provides practical application of theory. This is able to be achieved in a safe learning environment without clinical pressures, enabling students to build skills in preparation for clinical placement and meet the standards for professional registration upon graduating from the University.
