Therefore, this article aims to investigate the role of virtual reality in the education of health care professionals.
analysis method: This research is a systematic review study, in which all published articles related to the application of virtual reality in the training of healthcare professionals, without language restrictions, were considered from March 2000 until the end of March 2018.
