Abstract:Clinical medicine is a highly practical discipline. For a long time, clinical skills training of medical students has been carried out on patients by participating in the diagnosis and treatment process. However, as the scope of clinical practice of medical students is restricted by Law of the People’s Republic of China on Medical Practitioners, coupled with the influence of multiple factors such as the increasing awareness of patients’ rights protection and the tense relationship between doctors and patients in recent years, traditional teaching methods are often difficult to implement. If students stick to the learning approach mainly based on observation, the effect of clinical skills training is not very satisfactory. Simulator teaching has been promoted with the continuous development of electronic computer technology in medical education. In recent years, multi-functional system simulation or virtual training system simulators have been promoted, which are mainly used in ultrasound medicine, anesthesia, surgery, obstetrics, ophthalmology, etc. The application results show that the effect and advantages of simulator teaching to improve clinical skills training are affirmative, which can be promoted in application of multi-level trainees and multi-professions. However, it must be pointed out that simulator teaching is only a learning method, which has to be carried out on basis of the high-quality theoretical knowledge education. Standard teaching scheme and high quality plan execution are the core links of simulator teaching quality assurance, and the selection of specific teaching methods should be flexible.
