Abstract：Objective To explore the learning effect of application of virtual reality and simulation technology in the teaching of cardiac auscultation in postgraduate medical education.Methods 20 refresher doctors and 34 residents who participated in virtual reality training of cardiac auscultation in Ruijin Healthcare Simulation Center from September to December 2022 were selected for the study.Tests were conducted before and after the training,and the feedback of participants'learning experience was obtained through questionnaires after the training.Results There was a statistically significant pretest-to-posttest improvement in the test score(t=-5.71,P=0.00).Time of posttest was statistically shorter than that of pretest(t=8.50,P=0.00).The questionnaire results showed that the participants'self-rating on their mastery of cardiac auscultation skills improved significantly(t=-6.29,P=0.00),and most of the participants(45,88.24%)said that the training met their expectations.Conclusion In the stage of post-graduation medical education,it is very necessary to carry out effective cardiac auscultation skill training.Traditional teaching combined with cardiac virtual image technology and simulated heart sound technology can improve the learning effect of cardiac auscultation.
