In a virtual reality system for simulating medical processes, analyses and one or more virtual medical procedures may be performed on a virtual patient (or a part thereof), the virtual patient having medical conditions that simulate those of an actual real-world patient. The virtual reality system enables a user, such as a physician, to develop a strategy for treating the actual patient by performing one or more procedures on a simulated virtual patient. The user may be aided by the presentation of medical information from one or more sources bearing upon a physical condition exhibited by the virtual simulated patient.
