In recent years, specialized medical simulation centers have been established with the purpose of nurturing essential skills for physicians. These centers provide secure learning environments, employing various tools for deliberate practices and clinical scenarios. With the technological surge, virtual and augmented reality have been developed in various fields, including the healthcare sector. Several studies have confirmed that active learning methodologies have a positive impact, facilitating a deeper understanding of content, an increase in learning, and long-term retention. Additionally, they foster collaboration and motivation among students. Globally, and specifically in Mexico, cardiorespiratory arrest stands out as a leading cause of mortality. This study focuses on exploring the applicability of virtual reality in cardiopulmonary resuscitation as a teaching tool in clinical simulations. Given the potential of this intervention to save lives, it is crucial for medical students to acquire and master these vital skills.
