Abstract：Since plastic surgery was designated as a specialty in China's national standardized residency training program in 2014,its national training system has gradually improved.However,issues such as limited practice opportunities and insufficient teaching resources still remain.In 2023,Shanghai incorporated plastic surgery as an independent residency training specialty,with Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine being one of the first training bases.Relying on its abundant academic resources and first-class faculty,the hospital has laid a foundation for optimizing the residency training model.This article proposes enhancing training quality through the establishment of practical training courses,the introduction of virtual reality technology,and the optimization of training models for eight-year program students.Practical training courses compensate for deficiencies in practice opportunities through standardized skill training,while virtual reality technology provides a high-fidelity simulation environment for risk-free practice,shortening the learning curve and improving skill levels.Although the application of virtual reality technology and practical training courses in plastic surgery residency training is still in its early stages,they show great potential in optimizing teaching resources and improving training efficiency,and offer valuable insights for future medical education reform.
