Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the current status and influencing factors of national virtual simulation experimental teaching courses in medical education, and to provide a basis for optimizing resource allocation and improving the quality of education.Methods:All the medical courses on the national virtual simulation experimental teaching platform "Experimental Space" as of January 15, 2025 were included in the study. Python was used to collect data such as the year of course launch, discipline, experimental type, and access performance. Moreover, a descriptive analysis was carried out. STATA 17 was used for stepwise ordinary least square (OLS) regression to explore the influencing factors of the number of experimental participants and the pass rate.Results:The mean number of experimental participants for 659 courses was 1 020.91, and the mean pass rate was 51.71%. The results of stepwise OLS regression analysis showed that access response time, year of course launch, major, and experimental type were influencing factors of the number of experimental participants, while the first three were influencing factors for the experiment pass rate, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The national virtual simulation experimental teaching platform should streamline management, adopt normalized and innovative mechanisms to optimize technical performance, enhance discipline structure for balanced resource allocation, and implement dynamic evaluation to prioritize quality sharing, thus shifting the digital transformation of medical education from scale expansion to quality sharing.
