Virtual reality (VR) is a widely used tool in anesthesia education. By integrating multimedia and simulation technologies, it generates immersive environments that can serve as a controlled alternative to real-world training, thereby enhancing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills among anesthesia students. As a valuable, scientifically grounded, and feasible educational approach, VR helps foster student engagement and self-directed learning in anesthesiology. Additionally, it supports the development of more harmonious doctor–patient relationships and promotes standardized training and ethical practices in anesthesia. Given these advantages, the innovative application of VR in anesthesia teaching merits further exploration. In this article, an in-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.
