Abstract
Simulation-based teaching is an educational system that simulates real-life scenarios, allowing students to gain practical experience without the risks involved with real-life practice [1]. Simulation-based medical education (SBME) has become increasingly popular in medical education. Basic clinical skills and non-technical skills such as communication skill and decision making can be efficiently enhanced by SBME instruction as well [2]. The integration of advanced technology in recent years has allowed SBME to evolve according to the advancements of the digital era. In medical education, virtual reality (VR) is quickly becoming a popular and effective tool, especially for simulation-based teaching and learning. VR can provide a secure, monitored, and interesting learning environment for students in medical education by incorporating it into the curriculum.
