Abstract

Informatization is an effective way to promote the reform and innovation of higher education and improve its quality. Virtual simulation teaching is indispensable in the educational informatization. Here, we describe the development and current situation of virtual simulation teaching, and introduce electronic standardized patient (ESP) based-virtual human body system powered by the real-time human physiological parameters. We also discuss how to build an ESP-based community in the teaching of human physiology, preclinical integrated case learning and other teaching projects. These ESP-based virtual simulation projects display the advantages of interdisciplinary fusion and the combination of basic and clinical knowledge, and open up the third type of functional experiments. Therefore, ESP-based virtual simulation teaching platform presumably becomes a considerable option for the first-class course construction in physiology.

Key words: electronic standardized patient (ESP); virtual simulation; human functional experiment
