This report discusses the approach to teaching undergraduate radiation therapy students in New Zealand using the Virtual Environment for the Radiotherapy Training (VERT) system. In conjunction with VERT being used to teach clinical skills, integration of conceptual knowledge occurs across all 3 years of the programme; this report gives examples of how this is achieved in practice.
