Objective

2

To explore the application effect and advantages of virtual reality (VR) surgical simulation technology in surgical teaching for MBBS international students

and provide reference for the innovation of medical education mode.

Methods

2

A total of 20 MBBS international students were selected as the research subjects. The application of VR and traditional teaching modes in surgical internship courses was investigated. Student satisfaction data were collected across nine dimensions

including content relevance

theoretical understanding

operational skills

and teacher-student interaction. Descriptive statistics and inter-group comparison methods were used to analyze the differences in effectiveness.

Results

2

VR teaching is superior to traditional methods in all teaching dimensions

especially in terms of practical skills improvement

teaching pace control

and teacher-student interaction. VR not only provides students with highly simulated practical environments and abundant opportunities for repeated practice

but also reduces language barriers through visual expression

significantly enhancing foreign students' learning confidence and active participation. At the same time

VR places higher demands on educational resources and capabilities in terms of teacher curriculum design

software and hardware support

and the training of soft skills such as clinical communication and emergency response also needs to be strengthened.

Conclusion

2

VR surgical simulation technology provides effective support for skill training and theoretical consolidation of international students

and is a beneficial attempt to promote surgical teaching innovation and improve the quality of international medical education. In the future

the VR teaching system can be continuously improved by expanding the sample size

enriching simulation scenarios

and strengthening soft skill training

and its long-term educational effectiveness can be continuously tracked and evaluated.
