Abstract:

In today's education landscape, the convergence of sustainable internationalization and digital proficiency is of heightened importance, particularly within sectors marked by extensive globalization, exemplified by biomedical laboratory science (BLS). The presence of foreign health and social workers in Norwegian hospitals accentuates the urgency of effective cross-cultural communication. The aftermath of the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic further underscores the imperative of innovation, efficiency, and internationalization in medical laboratory science education. Addressing the challenges in current BLS education, this paper proposes a transformative approach that uses virtual or simulated environments to seamlessly bridge educational and workplace contexts. Through simulations, serious games, and virtual reality, educators can provide authentic, up-to-date learning experiences with heightened engagement. From physics to engineering, various disciplines already harness simulation-based learning for skill development. Within medical education, simulations advance diagnostic and technical competencies. This paper introduces a Unity3D-powered virtual biomedical lab, offering immersive technical process learning that augments understanding of workflows and equipment operations, promising to reshape biomedical laboratory science education profoundly.
