This paper aims to discuss specific immersive Virtual Reality Medical Training platforms developed as research projects in the use of Virtual Reality for Medical Training. It looks at the technology that is utilised by different applications and investigates the methodologies employed in the development of immersive applications. This paper identifies some critical strengths for Virtual Reality Medical Training applications, such as the reduction of risk to practitioners and patients, and the ability to simulate complex scenarios that in real-world practice would be hard to reproduce.
