My internship with DHI has been a truly inspiring experience that has significantly influenced my academic and career aspirations. During my 3-month internship, I had the opportunity to work collaboratively with different teams which allowed me to find out more about the research and projects being carried out by DHI. This experience not only allowed me to develop my teamwork and communication skills but also inspired me to continue exploring the vast opportunities for innovation and improvement in health and social care.
I had the incredible opportunity to delve into the world of Virtual Reality (VR) and explore its potential to revolutionise education and training within the health and social care sectors. The immersive nature of VR technology has introduced new possibilities for enhancing the learning experience of healthcare professionals, allowing them to engage in realistic simulations and hands-on training in a virtual environment. I have learned how VR can be utilised to simulate complex medical procedures, create interactive anatomy lessons, and provide realistic patient care scenarios. By researching the art of VR development and troubleshooting, I have gained valuable insights into the power of this technology to improve the skills and knowledge of healthcare professionals.
Understanding the potential of VR in transforming traditional educational methods and enhancing learning outcomes in health and social care has led me to consider incorporating this technology into my final year Honours project. This experience has also motivated me to explore further research opportunities in the field of digital health and care technology and potentially pursue a postgraduate degree in the coming years. The invaluable insights and skills acquired through my internship have not only shaped my academic interests but have also set me on a path towards a rewarding and impactful career in the intersection of healthcare and technology.
