Researchers will compare the VR-based ECT training program to a mannequin-based ECT training program to see if the VR-based ECT training program is comparable to traditional methods at training for ECT.\n\nParticipants will:\n\n* Complete an ECT skills assessment at the beginning and end of the study session.\n* Watch a 30-minute didactic ECT lecture video.\n* Be randomized to either the VR ECT simulation group or the mannequin ECT simulation group and be given 30 minutes to practice ECT administration with their assigned education tool.",[81,82,83],"Education, Medical, Undergraduate","Electroconvulsive Therapy","Virtual Reality Simulation",[85,86,87,88],"virtual reality","mannequin","education","electroconvulsive therapy","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-01-13",{"date":92,"type":93},"2026-01-20","ACTUAL",{"date":95,"type":75},"2026-01-05",{"date":97,"type":75},"2027-06-01",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
