Abstract：Objective To observe the application effect of virtual reality (VR) technology in the teaching of acupuncture and moxibustion in Western medicine colleges. Methods Total of 24 students of grade 2016 and 2017 in Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology were divided into VR teaching group and control group according to the random number table method, with 12 students in each group. The traditional teaching mode was used in control group, while VR technology teaching mode was used in VR teaching group. Both groups had six class hours. After the end of teaching, questionnaire survey and classroom test were carried out on two groups of students from the aspects of stimulating learning interest, improving learning efficiency, participating in classroom interaction, mastering theoretical knowledge, improving practical ability, cultivating self-learning ability, expanding learning ideas and teaching satisfaction. And the basic knowledge of written examination was implemented. The teaching effects of teaching methods of two groups were compared. Results The proportions of VR teaching group in stimulating learning interest, participating in classroom interaction, improving practical ability and teaching satisfaction were higher than those of control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between two groups in improving learning efficiency, mastering theoretical knowledge, cultivating self-learning ability and expanding learning thought (P > 0.05). The pass rate of classroom test in VR teaching group was higher than that in control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between two groups of theoretical examination results (P > 0.05). Conclusion The application of VR technology in the teaching of acupuncture and moxibustion is conducive to improve students′ learning interest, enhance their enthusiasm for learning, improve the effect of classroom learning, and help students to master theoretical knowledge and improve their practical ability. In particular, it can play a positive role for students in Western medicine colleges to learn the course of acupuncture and moxibustion.
