Virtual reality-based simulation improves gynecologic brachytherapy proficiency, engagement, and trainee self-confidence

Intracavitary brachytherapy is critical in treatment of cervical cancer with the highest rates of local control and survival. Only about 50% of graduating residents express confidence to develop a brachytherapy practice with caseload as the greatest barrier. We hypothesize that virtual reality (VR)-based intracavitary brachytherapy simulation will improve resident confidence, engagement, and proficiency.
