Abstract
Microbiology itself is an important basic discipline, and it is even more necessary to attach great importance to the cultivation of medical students, highlighting the application and practicality of the course to lay a solid foundation for students’ future clinical practice. Focusing on the “Medical Microbiology” experimental course, it is crucial to understand the course characteristics, such as scattered knowledge and large information volume, and adopt appropriate teaching methods to regulate them to promote students’ knowledge absorption, comprehensive understanding, and practical application. For example, virtual simulation teaching can leverage technological advantages to enable experimental practice to be carried out anytime and anywhere, allowing more students to expand their practice around one class period, one unit, or one project, achieving twice the educational effect with half the effort. Therefore, this paper discusses the teaching strategies of “Medical Microbiology” experimental courses assisted by virtual simulation technology, hoping to provide more references for frontline educators.
