Abstract: Virtual reality technology(VR) is a commonlywidely used method in anesthesia teaching. The hospital which the authors in, has developed a virtual reality technology system with independent intellectual property rights and equipped it with corresponding training venues for medical interns and graudate medical tool in anesthesia education students. Virtual reality technology combines. By integrating multimedia technology with and simulation technology to generate simulated reality and even beyond reality training technologies, it generates immersive environments, significantly improving the that can serve as a controlled alternative to real-world training, thereby enhancing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills ofamong anesthesia students. This technology is necessary, scientificAs a valuable, scientifically grounded, and feasible in anesthesia teaching, and can stimulate the enthusiasm and autonomy of anesthesia teachers and students ineducational approach, VR helps foster student engagement and self-directed learning. It can also promote in anesthesiology. Additionally, it supports the development of more harmonious doctor-–patient relationships and make anesthesia education and ethics more promotes standardized. Therefore, it is worth promoting the training and ethical practices in anesthesia. Given these advantages, the innovative application of virtual reality technologyVR in anesthesia teaching, which is merits further exploration. In this article, an innovative approachin-house VR system with independent intellectual property was developed at the author's institution. This system is equipped with dedicated training modules designed for medical interns and graduate students.Virtual reality (VR) is a common technique used in anesthesia teaching. VR can combine multimedia with simulation technology to generate simulated reality and even go beyond reality training environments, which significantly improves the theoretical and practical skills of anesthesia students. As a necessary, scientific, and feasible technique in anesthesia teaching, VR can stimulate the enthusiasm and self-discipline of students in the learning of anesthesia. Besides, iIt can also contribute to more harmonious doctor-patient relationships and standardized anesthesia education and ethics. Therefore, it is worth promoting the innovative application of VR in anesthesia teaching. In this study, a VR system with independent intellectual property rights has been developed by the author's hospital. This system is equipped with corresponding training venues for medical interns and graduate students.
