Healthcare Simulation Software for Medical and Allied Health Education
Virtual Medical Coaching develops healthcare simulation software for medical and allied health education. The platform enables students and clinicians to practise clinical procedures, technical workflows, and decision-making in realistic simulated environments without patient risk.
The simulations are designed to support formal teaching, self-directed learning, and assessment across multiple healthcare disciplines. Scenarios support repeated practice, error recognition, and reflective review prior to clinical placement or supervised clinical practice.
Virtual Medical Coaching simulations are supported by peer-reviewed research and formal evaluations conducted in healthcare education settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Virtual Medical Coaching used for?
Virtual Medical Coaching is used for healthcare education and clinical training. The platform enables learners to practise clinical procedures, technical workflows, and clinical decision-making in virtual environments before working with real patients.
Who uses Virtual Medical Coaching?
Virtual Medical Coaching is used by universities, colleges, training providers, and healthcare education institutions. It supports learners and educators across medical and allied health disciplines, including radiography, radiation safety, and clinical skills training.
Does Virtual Medical Coaching require virtual reality headsets?
Most Virtual Medical Coaching simulations are available in both virtual reality and desktop versions. Virtual reality simulations can be delivered using either tethered or untethered headsets, depending on institutional requirements. Other simulations are designed for virtual reality only and require a compatible headset.

Why Virtual Reality Simulation Is Used in Healthcare Education
Preparation for Clinical Practice
Virtual reality simulation allows learners to practise clinical procedures and workflows before working with real patients. This supports safer preparation for clinical placement and early professional practice by reducing initial exposure risk.
Repetition Without Patient Risk
Simulated environments enable repeated practice without time pressure or patient exposure. Learners can make decisions, observe outcomes, and refine techniques through structured repetition.
Flexible Delivery Across Learning Settings
Simulation training can be delivered in dedicated teaching spaces, on campus, or remotely, depending on the platform and deployment model. This allows integration into a wide range of healthcare education programmes.
Adoption Across Healthcare Disciplines
Virtual reality simulation is used across healthcare education, including radiography, radiation safety, and allied health training. Its adoption supports skill development, procedural understanding, and clinical confidence.
Healthcare Simulation Solutions
X-Ray Pro VR is a projection radiography simulation that allows learners to practise patient positioning, exposure selection, beam alignment, and image evaluation in a simulated X-ray room. Learners can observe correct and incorrect image outcomes based on positioning and technical choices.

Why institutions choose Virtual Medical Coaching for healthcare education
Purpose-built for healthcare education
Virtual Medical Coaching simulations are developed specifically for healthcare education, with workflows, scenarios, and feedback aligned to clinical practice and academic curricula.
Safe, controlled simulation environments
The platform provides controlled simulation environments that allow learners to practise procedures and clinical decision-making without patient risk, supporting safe preparation for clinical settings.
Licensing designed for academic programmes
Licensing models are designed to support degree-length and programme-wide access, enabling consistent use across student cohorts without repeated re-licensing for individual modules.
Development informed by educators and clinicians
Simulation development is informed by ongoing feedback from educators and clinical partners, supporting updates that reflect teaching needs, curriculum changes, and evolving clinical practice.
Educator and Clinical Feedback on Virtual Medical Coaching
It is a great addition to the skills labs we currently have and if a student does not have a partner to practice with, this is a great tool to supplement that needed practice time and it helps students improve upon positioning skills and also patient and radiation technologist safety with regards to radiation exposure.
Using the VR simulation allowed students to practise positioning, workflow, and decision-making independently before clinical placement. It accelerated skill acquisition, improved confidence, and freed teaching time to focus on image quality, technical reasoning, and patient safety. It is a meaningful addition to radiography education.
Students adapted to the simulation very quickly. The controls and interactions were intuitive, which meant less time spent explaining the technology and more time focused on patient positioning, technical factors, and clinical reasoning within the simulation.
Virtual Medical Coaching has the strongest VR simulation for X-ray that I’ve seen in the market, and we have partnered with their team to provide this solution to our students.
