Abstract:
This article explores the revolutionary role of digital simulation technologies virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in surgical clinical teaching. These technologies can provide a safe and controllable learning environment, promote personalized learning and remote teaching for students, and enhance the efficiency and safety of surgical clinical teaching. We also discussed the elements and standards required for an effective AR/VR surgical clinical teaching software. These include a realistic simulation environment, interactivity, breadth and depth of teaching content, user-friendly interface design, personalized learning plans, multi-user interaction functions, data-driven analysis, technological foresight and compatibility, compliance with medical teaching standards, and security and privacy protection. Despite challenges such as high cost and technological complexity, digital simulation technologies are expected to continue expanding and deepening their applications in surgical clinical teaching, changing teaching methods and improving teaching quality and surgical safety.
