Abstract

Clinical thinking is not only the basis and premise of clinical reasoning and decision-making, but the necessary quality to cultivate reliable, responsible, and emotional excellent doctors. Virtual reality technology provides a real clinical learning environment for medical students, which can bridge the gap between medical theory and medical practice and save educational resources. Virtual reality is helpful to cultivate medical students' clinical thinking and prepare for their clinical practice. Through the deconstruction of clinical thinking, this paper determines the connotation and constituent elements of clinical thinking, puts forward the model framework for virtual reality technology to promote the development of medical students' clinical thinking, and explains the impact of virtual reality technology on the development of medical students' clinical thinking, clinical reasoning, and critical thinking from the aspects of virtual reality situation, teaching activities, and virtual reality characteristics.

Highlights

IntroductionClinical thinking is a kind of reasoning and thinking method that doctors or medical students use with the knowledge of natural science, humanities and social science, and behavioral science to recognize and judge diseases
Medical students lack the opportunity to contact patients for clinical practice in the clinical learning stage, which hinders the cultivation of medical students. erefore, in order to improve this situation as soon as possible, integrating medical teaching resources, cultivating medical students’ clinical thinking, and introducing virtual reality technology into medical teaching can effectively solve many problems in medical personnel cultivation [7, 8]
In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of students and improve their clinical thinking ability of reasoning, judgment, and decision-making, the simulation experiment project based on virtual reality technology is used to guide students to comprehensively use multidisciplinary knowledge to solve the clinical problems of patients in different scenes

Summary

Introduction

Clinical thinking is a kind of reasoning and thinking method that doctors or medical students use with the knowledge of natural science, humanities and social science, and behavioral science to recognize and judge diseases It is the key ability of effective clinical diagnosis and treatment. E clinical decisionmaking of building a harmonious and healthy doctorpatient relationship should be patient-centered, creatively and critically acquiring relevant knowledge and skills and integrating multidisciplinary professional knowledge to solve clinical problems In this process, we should think critically about our clinical thinking ability of reasoning, judgment, and decision-making. Previous studies have shown that problem-based learning (PBL) can promote the development of clinical thinking It is to strengthen students’ ability of autonomous learning and solving practical problems by adopting the group discussion teaching method based on clinical practical problems, with students as the main body and teachers as the guidance.
