Application prospects of virtual reality technology in simulation teaching in pediatrics / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

With the development of virtual reality (VR) technology and wide application of simulation-based medical education in clinical teaching, VR has been attracting growing attention in the field of simulation teaching in pediatrics. Studies have shown that VR technology can effectively improve pediatric clinical teaching effects by providing an immersive learning environment and enhancing the learning experience of students. VR also expands the teaching methods of pediatric simulation education. This paper discusses the application of VR technology in virtual standardized patients, simulation teaching of clinical practice skills, and clinical scenario simulation in pediatrics, as well as the use of ACEP SimBox in VR simulation teaching in pediatric emergency care. Future research needs to focus on the further development of VR technology and its application in simulation teaching, and find the best way to combine VR with traditional teaching methods.
