Abstract
According to Healthy China, a national strategy of the Government of China, new requirements were put forward for high-quality medical education, high-level surgical research, and precise clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the context of Emerging Medical Discipline, a strategic blueprint of medical education in China, this paper reviews the concept and core value of virtual reality (VR) and its significant role in the medical industry. On that basis, we explore the role of VR technology in medical training against the background of Emerging Medicine Discipline. Furthermore, typical cases are presented to help analyze and illustrate in detail the important role of VR technology in the teaching and training of stomatological and clinical procedures, skills assessment, online self-directed training, and clinical thinking skills training.
