VIRTUAL SIMULATION AND AUGMENTED REALITY IN CLINICAL SKILLS TRAINING

Virtual simulation and augmented reality (AR) technologies are increasingly used in clinical skills training to provide immersive, interactive, and safe learning environments. Studies show that VR and AR enhance knowledge retention, procedural accuracy, and learner engagement compared to traditional methods. Despite challenges such as high costs and technical requirements, these technologies offer scalable and flexible solutions, especially in settings with limited access to patients or clinical facilities. Structured integration and proper instructor training are essential to maximize their educational impact.

虚拟仿真与增强现实（AR）技术正日益广泛应用于临床技能培训领域，可为学习者打造沉浸式、交互式且安全的学习环境。研究表明，相较于传统培训手段，虚拟现实（Virtual Reality, VR）与增强现实（AR）技术能够提升学习者的知识留存率、操作流程准确性与参与度。尽管此类技术存在成本高昂、技术要求严苛等挑战，但它们仍可提供可扩展且灵活的解决方案，尤其适用于患者资源匮乏或临床设施不足的场景。若要最大化发挥其教育效能，系统化的技术整合与规范的师资培训至关重要。
