Virtual Simulation in Forensic Medicine Education in China

Abstract

Virtual Simulation is an innovative interactive pedagogical strategy in higher education. This paper analyzes the virtual simulation teaching projects currently underway in forensic medicine education in China. It explores the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of virtual simulation teaching in forensic medicine in China. The first batch of 11 virtual simulation projects are all synthetic designing experiments of over 2 class hours, mainly targeting the undergraduate students in the second year and above. Most projects focus on forensic pathology education. They provide active immersive experiential learning with data-driven teaching and real-time assessment. Further efforts are needed to integrate advanced technologies, diversify teaching content, and promote collaboration and resource sharing.
