Application of virtual simulation teaching instruments in large-scale medical equipment courses and its reflection / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

In the practical teaching of large-scale medical equipment courses in medical colleges and universities. There are some problems such as less opportunities for students to operate the equipment which is possessed by teaching hospitals, the large-scale medical equipment in teaching hospitals are in a pathogenic environment, and some equipment such as CT, DR have radiation hazards, which lead to difficulties in practical teaching. These problems restrict the cultivation of students' practical ability, cause disconnections between theoretical teaching and practical teaching, and are not conducive to training "new engineering" and "new medical science" talents. So, this paper puts forward an idea which introduces virtual simulation teaching instruments of large-scale medical equipment into the teaching of medical equipment in medical colleges and universities, uses the physical structures, control systems and functional software of virtual simulation teaching instruments to implement the teaching of "integration of theory and practice", and also sets up validation experiments, comprehensive experiments, designing experiments and research explorative experiments in the teaching process. This kind of teaching can not only realize the high integration of theoretical teaching and practical teaching, but also consolidate students' basic theoretical knowledge, improve their abilities to solve complex engineering problems, and cultivate "new engineering" and "new medical" talents in line with the needs of the new era.
