Kuczek Wins Award for VR Integration in Anatomy Education

Jenna Kuczek, PhD student and Graduate Teaching Associate at The Ohio State University, has been honored with the Sam Drogo Technology in the Classroom Award for her innovative use of virtual reality (VR) in anatomy education. By blending immersive VR tools like the Sectra table and Meta Quest 3 headsets into her curriculum, Kuczek helps students visualize complex anatomical systems and gain early clinical insights. Her work not only enhances student learning but also sets a new benchmark for integrating technology into medical education.
