SUMMARY:

The objective of this study was to analyze the concept of virtual reality (VR) in medical education. This is a conceptual analysis based on the methodology suggested by Walker & Avant. The methodological steps were developed based on a scoping review, as proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The literature search was performed in the following databases: PUBMED, PMC, SciELO, Google Scholar, LILACS, MEDLINE, IBECS and CUMED, using the descriptor "Virtual Reality" and its respective translation into English and Spanish. The final sample consisted of 49 studies. Eight attributes, eight antecedents and sixteen consequents of the phenomenon studied were identified. Two cases were constructed for a better clarification of the concept analyzed, one being the opposite case and one model case. Finally, the following definition was constructed: VR is a simulation technology, developed from software that promotes interaction and immersion in a virtual environment, in a three-dimensional way, with or without the use of avatars. It is a safe, accessible, flexible, possibly cost-effective, and ethically recommended resource. It promotes the development and improvement of medical and interprofessional skills, offers increased knowledge, confidence, satisfaction and improvement with learning outcomes. The amplified understanding of VR in the medical context may contribute to the improvement of teaching-learning processes in health, as well as reflect on better training and professional qualification.
