Pediatric Content Developed in Collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics
In 2023, the American Academy of Pediatrics and Bodyswaps collaborated to create the Equity and Anti-Racism in Global Healthcare module. This year, we've partnered again to create Increasing Immunization Confidence, a new module centered around empowering healthcare practitioners with the tools to feel confident communicating about immunization with parents and caregivers. These modules are available through the Bodyswaps immersive learning program.

What people say.
"Bodyswaps jumped out to me because they had a lot of scenarios that could be used by a lot of different people in a lot of different roles. Even in the first sort of foray into testing, one of our GPs said this would be great in this circumstance. This would be great in a different circumstance. So we could easily see that it could be used in many different settings for many different roles."

"In terms of the the overall experience, it's the fact that it felt like a safe space in which to practice and and try techniques. It's just very different to what we're used to. Normally, the simulation is in person, big audience watching you, because you got to take it in turns. It felt very different."

"VR training is important for healthcare professionals because it's becoming increasingly challenging to try and get placements in hospitals and general practice. What this does is provide a bridge where they're able to experience a wide variety of things because the problems that you have with traditional placements is you don't know what you're going to come up with. Whereas with VR, you can try as many different scenarios as you want to help develop and build your own personal experience and portfolio, which then can be translated into real day practice."
