Between 2011 and 2020, in the Macao Special Administrative Region, China, critical health care reforms took place with simulation training in medical education. The introduction of simulation training for postgraduates at the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST) was a key driver of this health care services reform, supported with two public health care lecture forums: the Sino Luso International Medical Forum launched in 2011 and the Sino Asia Pacific Medical Forum, established in 2015. Advocacy and education from these forums also helped pave the way for approval from the Macao SAR Government Gazette of the first Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Science (MBBS) programme on 14 January 2019. The programme was launched on 2 September 2019 at the newly opened Faculty of Medicine (formerly Faculty of Health Sciences) at the MUST. The strategy was based on a threepronged approach, starting with the implementation of simulation-based postgraduate training programmes, creating internationally supported medical lecture forums, and ending with the establishment of the medical school. The strategy has led to a solid foundation to successfully adopt leading-edge technology for medical and clinical training and education, meeting the needs of future health care and health care providers.

Background: The public health response to the coronavirus pandemic has imposed limitations on orthopaedic surgeons’ scheduled care practice, with a consequential reduction in training time for residents within the specialty. A potentially viable option for maintenance of operative competency is the use of virtual reality (VR) surgical simulation. This review looks at the effectiveness of VR as a pedagogical method of learning for orthopaedic trainees. Question: Can VR be a viable method of learning and skill retention for orthopaedic trainees during periods of reduced operative time? Methods: A systematic search using Google Scholar, EMBASE and PubMed was conducted in July 2020. Results: Following the PRISMA guidelines, the initial search revealed 779 studies. Thirty-five full-text articles were analysed by two reviewers and a final total of 29 articles were included in this review. The levels of evidence ranged from one to four with variable quality. A thematic analysis revealed three broad categories: quality and validity of VR teaching simulations studies (n = 8); learning curves and subject performance papers (n = 14); usefulness of VR simulators in orthopaedics reviews (n = 7). Conclusion: We demonstrated that VR has the capacity to help trainees maintain their technical skills, enhance their precision and retain rudimentary competency during this pandemic. Additional developments are necessary to ensure its safety as a training tool. Although there are limited orthopaedic-specific VR simulators, surgical trainees can benefit from VR-based training when paired with other forms of orthopaedic education, such as cadaveric laboratories and simulation suites.
