Background: The growing integration of virtual reality (VR) in medical education has opened new possibilities for simulating clinical environments, offering an immersive and interactive platform for training in skills such as general physical examination. 

Aim: To analyze learners’ perceptions and satisfaction and evaluate the feasibility of VR as a platform for physical examination training. 

Methods: A quantitative approach was employed using self-designed questionnaires on user experience, cybersickness in virtual reality, and the System Usability Scale (SUS). Respondents, consisting of medical and nursing students, were recruited through convenience sampling. They participated in general physical examination training in a VR environment after watching a brief tutorial video. Questionnaires were completed after the training session. 

Results: A total of 22 respondents, comprising medical and nursing students, participated in the VR-based general physical examination training. Findings indicated positive perceptions of VR use, with a good level of usability. No significant differences were observed between medical and nursing students in terms of user experience, usability, or motion sickness. Additionally, no
