Nutrition Counselor VR
Using the virtual reality environment, learners build strategies for talking to a patient and preparing them to follow a guided program of diet and behavior. This helps to prepare dieticians, interns, and others doing nutrition counseling for the reality of interacting with patients who are in physical and emotional distress.
Comming soon on MetaStudents will gain exposure to a life-like scenario as a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) in which nutrition care is being provided.
Students will gain different experiences depending on the selections that each student makes throughout the storyline decision tree.
