Pre-post evaluation shows virtual experiments improve learning outcomes and student perceptions in pharmacology education.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual pharmacology simulations on student learning and engagement.
Conducted a pre-post evaluation study with third-year medical students.
Administered surveys to assess perceptions before and after the virtual experiment.
Utilized statistical analysis including odds ratios, confidence intervals, and p-values to evaluate results.
Significant improvement in understanding drug mechanisms (OR=4.0727, p=0.0090).
Increased agreement on the benefits of practice opportunities (OR=3.2344, p=0.0283).
Students showed reduced concerns about equipment challenges (OR=3.0222, p=0.0360).
