摘要

全科住院医师培训是培养基层高水平全科医生的关键环节，然而传统培训模式存在实践机会不足等问题。虚拟病人作为计算机仿真技术的工具，具备模拟真实临床场景、提供多样化病例及即时反馈的优势，能够显著改善培训效果。本文综述虚拟病人在全科住院医师培养中的应用现状与潜力，并分析其在提升临床决策能力、医患沟通能力等方面的优势。同时，针对当前虚拟病人应用中存在的标准化不足、情境模拟局限性等问题，本文提出通过增强病例复杂性、结合翻转课堂模式、结合大语言模型等优化策略，旨在探索虚拟病人在现代医学教育中的更广泛应用途径，以期提升全科住院医师的培养质量和基层医疗服务水平。

Abstract

Training general practice residents is a crucial part of cultivating high-level general practitioners at the grass roots level. However

the traditional training model has revealed several deficiencies

such as insufficient clinical practice opportunities. Virtual patients

as a computer simulation-based tool

can significantly enhance training outcomes due to their advantages

including the simulation of practical clinical scenarios

diverse case conditions

and prompt feedback. This article reviews the current status and potential of applying virtual patients in the training of general practice residents and analyzes their advantages in optimizing clinical decision-making and doctor-patient communication. In view of issues such as insufficient standardization and situational simulation in the application of virtual patients

this article proposes optimization strategies such as enhancing case complexity and integrating flipped classrooms and large language models. All these measures aim to explore a wider application range of virtual patients in modern medical education

improving the training quality of general practitioners and the level of primary medical services.
